Hello, I have found a way to use the "Elsa Microlink 56k PCI HSF" modem on Linux. That very simple, and I've tested it on a Mandrake 7.0 distribution with the 2.2.14mdk kernel. -*- First, you must download the Olitec drivers for Conexant HSF modem. Install it, sorry for english guys but the page is in french, and my english is too poor for doing a good traduction. Here's the direct address to download the driver: http://olitec.com/pci56kv2.html -*- The second way, is to search the vendor ID of your modem under Windows(very bad thing). When you find this, it's something like this: PCI\VEN_14F1&DEV_2014&SUBSYS_15401048&REV_01 Please note, that we don't use the revision "&REV1" for the next step. -*- Put this vendor ID in the configuration file of the driver, this file is named "lin_hsf.inf", respecting the syntax. Here's the syntax: %HSFModem% = ModemX, PCI\VEN_14F1&DEV_2014&SUBSYS_15401048 -*- Now you can load the driver by launching "ins_all", simply in shell with "./ins_all". Warning, you have to do this every time you launch Linux !!! -*- Now, you can configure the ppp client with your ISP's configuration, and connect the Internet. Have fun with your HSF Modem !!!
