    Almost got a winmodem to work? Conexant HSFi CX11252-41

    using ubuntu 7.10
    fax modem chipset HSFi CX11252-41

    I bought this modem from ebuyer a few months ago as someone had
    found drivers for it on opensuse ver 9... so i thought there was a good chance it would work in ubuntu.

    So far i have tried:
    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupAndFax
    installed following
    sl-modem-daemon
    gtk-efax
    gfax (as alternative)
    gnome-ppp
    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
    installed the scanmodem tool

    james@james-desktop:~$ sudo wvdialconf
    [sudo] password for james:
    Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.

    Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

    Found a modem on /dev/ttySHSF0.
    Modem configuration written to /etc/wvdial.conf.
    ttySHSF0<Info>: Speed 460800; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0"

    installed the .deb file - all seemed ok and entered in synaptic.

    The fax program is trying to use /dev/ttyS1 which is most likely a default
    when my modem is on /dev/ttySHSF0.

    Thus necessary to edit wvdial.conf
    [Dialer Defaults]
    Init1 = ATZ
    Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
    Modem Type = Analog Modem
    Baud = 460800
    New PPPD = yes
    Modem = /dev/ttySHSF0 && before ttyS1
    ISDN = 0
    Phone = <Target Phone Number>
    ;08456091350 && this is a telephone number for an isp dial-up - also failed
    ; Password = <Your Password>
    ; Username = <Your Login Name>

    Tried to send a fax and have pasted the window (above "SEND FAX"
    button) info in gtk-efax
    Socket running on port 9900
    efax-0.9a: 11:48:00 opened /dev/ttySHSF0
    efax-0.9a: 11:48:02 Error: can't determine fax modem class support
    efax-0.9a: 11:48:02 failed page /home/james/Desktop/JF-CV.pdf.001
    efax-0.9a: 11:48:02 finished - invalid modem response

    It would seem the modem can't select its class... recommends AUTO [from the choice of class 1, class2, class3]. Tried all three

    CAN'T BE FAR OUT!....

    Be grateful if someone could put me right. [...i know i can just buy a hardware modem but in spite of what some folks say i found i got a lot of trouble with one - but a software one was fine for almost 6 years].

    thanks
    james
