Only one mention of HSF, which doesn't look too bad.  I was going to
attach the output of dmesg at the end of this email, but I somehow
didn't copy it over to the win partition... can send later.

Uh oh...

#CONFIG_4KSTACKS is not set
CONFIG_PREEMPT=y

should I recompile the kernel with CONFIG_PREEMPT off?

Unfortunately this is the only Conexant modem I have.  I was
successfully using a Creative USB softmodem until it broke (hardware
breakage), using the Creative driver.
