[hsflinux] latest hsfmodem (7.80.02.04) breaks snd-hda-intel from latest alsa-driver-linuxant (1.0.20.3)

Hello,

Ok!! A little progress, hopefully this might provide a useful clue to the hsfmodem driver's developers

I was able to get hsfmodem driver installed to work properly and to detect the modem, but with a little "temporary" hack :)

I replaced /usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/imported directory with that of Dell's old OEM release for ubuntu hardy/intrepid, and reinstalled with hsfconfig

Now....

My modem gets detected, SND-HDA-INTEL from alsa-driver-linuxant works, the modem responds to all commands just fine, as simulated by wvdial and manually with minicom/cutecom app, but it doesn't dial... :(
The modem just picks up the line and sits there and does nothing.. I had to confirm this by opening speakerphone on a telephone hooked up on the same line soon after the ATDT command is sent to the modem just to see if it actually tries to dial.. there's no dialout number or anything special, the modem just doesnt dial, even when I configure wvdialconf to not wait for dialtone..

# hsfconfig -i
Conexant HSF softmodem driver, version 7.80.02.04full

Note: kernel module snd-intel8x0m overridden by hsfmc97ich hsfmc97sis
Note: kernel module snd-atiixp-modem overridden by hsfmc97ati

Current parameters: ("hsfconfig --info")

Config for modem unit 0: /dev/ttySHSF0
    Device instance: 0-HDA-14f12bfa:14f10001-1
    HW revision    : SSD=31 LSD=0x11
    HW profile name: hsfhda
    Current region : USA (T.35 code: 00B5)

The /dev/modem alias (symlink) points to ttySHSF0

ATDT1234567
--> Timed out while dialing.  Trying again.
--> Maximum Attempts Exceeded..Aborting!!
--> Disconnecting at Thu Jul 30 10:37:29 2009

(I replaced my real dialup number above in the ATDT statement with 1234567)

I also upgraded my kernel from 2.6.28-13-generic by manually compiling from source to kernel 2.6.30 from ubuntu kernel ppa, after stripping down the config as much as possible for a leaner kernel and for making sure there are no possible conflicting options built-in the kernel that would cause the hsfmodem driver to not work properly...
Also reinstalled alsa-driver-linuxant 1.0.20.3 source deb of course after the manual kernel upgrade, but still to no avail...
Modem just won't dial out :(

The modem, however, works just fine under Windows on the same phone line...

Windows calls it "Soft Data Fax Modem with SmartCP" if that matters at all..

I attached in the inf file of the modem driver in windows, I tried using
the init command from it in wvdial, but it doesn't help, the modem
still doesn't dial :(


Any help/suggestins or clue would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks,
Jasmine
