We plan to extend the support to more kernel versions, however on-the-fly recompilation will of course remain supported. Along with the new web site we are inaugurating four mailing lists (hcflinux-announce, hsflinux-announce, hcflinux, hsflinux) for announcements and open discussion of HCF/HSF driver issues under Linux. Instructions on how to subscribe, post to, or consult the archives of those lists and many additional resources are on the web site above. Cheers!

Generic packages should now work with SMP and 2.5.x kernels. Also, initial support for Conexant AC-Link modems on the VIA MC97 controller (PCI device ID 1106:3068) has been added! This should make owners of AMD-based VAIO notebooks happy. We recommend that all users upgrade and send us feedback about any remaining or new problems not listed in the updated 'BUGS' file.

It is now available for download from http://www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlindrv The README file is appended below. Cheers Marc ---- This package contains Linux drivers for the Conexant (Rockwell) RipTide Audio/Communication Controller. It was developed by Conexant Systems Inc (Konstantin Lazarev) and Marc Boucher , who is the current maintainer. If you have a RipTide HCF modem (127A:4321 or 127A:4331), you need to install *both* the RIPTIDE and HCF drivers, otherwise the modem will *not* work. RipTide HSF modems (127A:4311 or 14F1:4311) require only the HSF driver, on top of which the RIPTIDE driver can be optionally installed to add audio, synth, midi, and gameport functionality. RIPTIDE driver Features: ----------------------- 1. OSS compatible. 2. Full duplex PCM playback and record. 3. Multiple playback channels (/dev/dsp). 4. Mixer support (/dev/mixer). 5. Supports direct access interface for games such as Quake2. 6. Supports OPL3 synthesis (/dev/sequencer) 7. Supports MPU401 external MIDI (/dev/midi) 8. Supports joystick at port 0x201 with system driver (joy-analog.o should be loaded) 9. Interoperates with HCF and HSF modem drivers. The latest version and related information are available at http://www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlindrv on the web. These drivers should work on most current Linux distributions, based on the 2.2.x or 2.4.x kernels. On some systems, it might be necessary to disable the "PnP OS" BIOS option if it exists. See the INSTALL file for installation instructions. THIS IS PRELIMINARY SOFTWARE WHICH MAY CONTAIN BUGS THAT COULD CAUSE CRASHES AND DATA CORRUPTION. THE USE OF THIS SOFTWARE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. WE DO NOT PRESENTLY RECOMMEND USING IT ON CRITICAL SYSTEMS AND ONLY AFTER DOING COMPLETE BACKUPS. Some features may not be implemented or work as expected. Bug reports are welcome. (see section "REPORTING PROBLEMS" in INSTALL file) Most files in this package are released under terms similar to the BSD license. See the files LICENSE for details.

Linuxant has licensed core modem and ADSL technologies from Conexant and intends to invest significant resources to perfect and extend the pioneering softmodem driver development work started by Conexant and Linux kernel developer Marc Boucher. "The overwhelming demand for Linux drivers has outgrown the scope of Marc's initial experimental project and we are now delighted to see Linuxant taking it to the next level", said Zeev Collin, Vice-President, Conexant PCD. "We are thrilled to be at the cornerstone of providing Linux users with high quality drivers for Conexant's ubiquitous chipsets", said Marc Boucher, founder and President of Linuxant. "Support for softmodems, sometimes referred to as 'winmodems' has traditionally been lacking in the open-source Linux operating-system, due to the proprietary aspects of the technology. Our goal is to bring it on par with commercial platforms, while respecting the nature of Linux and the interests of all parties involved". Advanced features such as V.92, FAX and other functionality currently missing will be added to enhanced versions of the HSF (softmodem) and HCF (controllerless) drivers, to become available to millions of Linux users in the near future. Companies will also be able to take advantage of Linuxant's professional support, development, and customization services.

We are excited to announce that new, significantly enhanced versions of the Conexant HCF and HSF drivers are now available from: http://www.linuxant.com/ Highlights: - V.92 support in full version (new for HSF) - Class 1.0 FAX support in full version (new for HSF), compatible with HylaFAX, efax-gtk, and efax - Digital Call Progress for HSF (playing the modem dialing sound through the Linux audio system) - Implementation of Conexant's SDK2K (for upcoming Modem On Hold) - Better hardware support, including latest Conexant devices - Multiple device instances (several modems can now be simultaneously used) - Linux 2.6 kernel compatibility - Improved SMP and preemptible kernel support - Prebuild RPM packages for the latest Mandrake/RedHat/SuSE kernels - Debian packages - Many bug fixes The detailed changelog is available from our web-site. We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to the latest version. Linux 2.2 kernels are no longer supported. Please switch to 2.4 or later. Please report any new or persisting problems. Because the scope of the 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. Thank you for your support! Marc
