Because the scope of this project has grown beyond the capacity of a single volunteer and legal issues prevent us from using a classic open-source development model, the modem drivers are now available in two editions:

  • a free version (limited to 14.4Kbps data), available at no cost. Please use it to test if your hardware is compatible.
  • a full version (with 56K and FAX), available for a modest price.

    Proceeds will be used to further improve the drivers. Getting the full version is the best way to encourage us and ensure that this project continues.

    If you are wondering why a Linux driver isn't already included in the price you paid for your modem, or disagree with the practice of selling Linux software, please read this explanation.

    Thank you for your support!

    Please choose your distribution and kernel architecture or the proper package(s) for your system below.

    Distribution-specific binary packages (easiest to install)

    If your distribution/architecture is not listed, or you are using a special enterprise/secure/SMP or custom (self-compiled) kernel, or the package does not work with your kernel version, you should try one of the generic packages with source below instead.

    * Note: Fedora, Freedows and RedHat users may find out their exact kernel architecture (which is not always the same as "uname -m" output) with the following case-sensitive shell command:
                  rpm -q --qf '%{ARCH}\n' kernel
     
    Generic packages with source

    To use these generic packages, kernel-source and the gcc C compiler must be properly installed on your system to dynamically build the driver modules upon installation.

    If you are not sure which format to choose, please see the installation instructions.

    Note to Fedora Core 2 to 6 and Fedora 7 users: The default stack size in original Fedora Core 2 to 6 and Fedora 7 kernels is only 4K. Because some drivers require more stack space to operate properly, we recommend using a kernel with a larger stack size if you experience problems or crashes. You can either rebuild your own custom kernel, or get one of our replacement "stk16" kernels provided for your convenience through the distribution-specific Fedora Core 2 to 6 and Fedora 7 links above.

    Note to Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04), Hardy (8.04) and SUSE (11.0, 11.1) users with HDA modems: Installing the alsa-driver-linuxant package is necessary before installing this driver.

    User comment:

    I got your earlier beta of the Conexant drivers to compile and work flawlessly on Mandrake 9.1 (using the rpm --rebuild instructions you provided). Now I see you have added RH 9 support. This is terrific! I have an Aopen winmodem, and your stuff works great on Mdk 9.1 - I look forward to getting it working in RH. Thanks for making this available. (Seriously - I can't get my external USR 56k Sportster to work, but now my internal winmodem is just flawless. Great, great great! :-)
