dialup modem problem not working in ubuntu

If you want to use your Conexant, you can try these drivers: http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/downloads-installer.php

Free version is only capable to reach 14.4Kbps, while full version permits you to connect at full speed. License price is about 20 $, but I think it would be better if you plan to buy an external serial modem compatible with GNU/Linux (almost every model nowadays).

Have you checked out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto

As far as going with drivers from Linuxant, if you upgrade after the 6mos, you will have to pay them again, and again, and again.

It would really be cheaper to buy a well supported modem if getting the free drivers to work for you doesn't work.

As for why Ubuntu does not include certain drivers, it is because they are proprietary software, which goes against everything that Ubuntu is.

There are a type of modem called "winmodems". In general they are a bit hard to be configured. So the fact may be that you are using a "winmodem"

I use triple boot with Mepis, Xp and Ubuntu LTS Dapper Drake.
I have installed Conexant modem but I cannot connect to internet because it hangs up saying no dialtone help!

I m a new user of ubuntu 7.04. I cannot connect to the internet through my dial-up connection. My modem is "Prolink-1456PVA 56k PCI soft Modem". What should i do to connect to the internet via this modem? Please answer my qustion quickly.

My Dell inspiron 4150 laptop has a PCMCIA 56k us robotics modem in one of the slots.

I have tried various versions of Fedora above vdrsion 3, and the previous Ubuntu 7.01
with no success.

I have heard that the linux kernel abandoned PCMCIA-cs for PCMCIA -utils. With that change,
Fedora quit working.

I have not tried Feisty fawn (7.04) yet, but if the PCMCIA handler is utils and not cs I hold out little hope.

Do I dare?
