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
