Well after the joys of watching linux boot and the effortless networking it was time to setup my modem.

However -- there's that word again! -- anyway, lspci -vv shows this delightful piece of information.

Communication controller: Conexant HSF 56k HSFi Modem (rev 01)
Subsystem: Conexant Unknown device 2003

Well thats somewhat to be expected, however these Conexant modems are loved by few in the land of Linux being WinModems and all.
(For those who don't know WinModem is marketing slang for cheap piece of crap that should never have been allowed into the market place) ;-)

So anyway I'll just browse Ebay and my local places and grab a nice proper voice modem. V92 with all the features if I'm Lucky.

Anyhow, we progress.
Cheers.
