I'm assuming your modem is a winmodem. That being the case you are just about screwed. I tried for weeks to get my lucent winmodem going under DSL 1.2 to no avail. Bought me a pcmcia card modem for the laptop (non winmodem), and it worked great.....of course now lucent winmodems are supported under 2.1. If you are absolutley stuck on getting that modem going the best thing you can do is search the wiki, and google.com/linux "conexant"......wish you all the luck!

p.s. sometimes it take a little more that 24 hours to get a response....not light speed, but not the pony express either...

i have a conexant hsf 56k modem. I have the driver files for it. it's a .run file. I'm gonna disconnect my xp hard drive & install a blank drive. & install dsl to teh hard drive. see if that works i have the modem file on a CD rom. who knows. but it looks like dsl is not for me anyway. I'll have to try linux OS or lindows. there more user friendly & goof proof i think .. but waht to i know i'm a winodws person better stick to waht i know.
