This package contains Linux drivers for the Conexant (formerly Rockwell)
Softmodem HSF modem family.

HSF for Linux drivers were developed by Conexant Systems Inc.
in cooperation with Marc Boucher <marc@mbsi.ca>.

They should work on most current Linux distributions, based on
the 2.2.x or 2.4.x kernels. A Pentium processor with the MMX enhancements
is required. SMP machines are NOT presently supported.

The following PCI modem devices are recognized by the driver:

HSFi (D420)
	PCI ID 14F1:2F00, Subsystem ID 2002:14F1
	PCI ID 14F1:2F00, Subsystem ID 2003:14F1
	PCI ID 14F1:2F00, Subsystem ID 2004:14F1

HSF (D480)
	PCI ID 14F1:2013
	PCI ID 14F1:2014
	PCI ID 14F1:2015
	PCI ID 14F1:2016
	PCI ID 14F1:4311 (RIPTIDE - sound not supported)
	PCI ID 127A:1025
	PCI ID 127A:2013
	PCI ID 127A:2014
	PCI ID 127A:2015
	PCI ID 127A:2016
	PCI ID 127A:4311 (RIPTIDE - sound not supported)

Intel SmartMC (ICH)

	PCI ID 8086:2416

Basic2 / SmartDAA (D840)

	PCI ID 14F1:2043
	PCI ID 14F1:2044
	PCI ID 14F1:2045
	PCI ID 14F1:2046
	PCI ID 14F1:2443

Athens (Yukon)

	PCI ID 14F1:1631

If you have a modem based on the HSF chipset but with different
PCI vendor or device IDs it might work if manually configured but
this is at your own risk.

See the INSTALL file for installation instructions.

The modem AT command set is described in the file 100498D_RM_HxF_Released.pdf.
