Re: modem driver
Unless I am missing something, the modem at the start of the thread is USB and not serial, and so would need a driver other than the serial-port driver.

The Conexant USB modem was introduced in post #3, confusing the issue. Imho, ./getinfo.sh was irrelevant here. Sorry. :-(

Re: modem driver
Seems to be ample confusion to go around, with the moving target.
Re: modem driver
Without wanting to sound picky, I don't see much of a moving target here.
The original question was crystal clear, only when ./getinfo.sh showed there also was a built-in modem the attention suddenly shifted. But that built-in modem was never a subject of the original query. Funny thing is that even the OP got distracted, which is why the thread went off-course, even off-topic, one might argue.
Getting back to the original question (the OP appears to have vanished), am I correct in assuming that whatever application needs to use that modem can just use the correct serial port and not need any type of driver for that external modem?

Re: modem driver
Skipping any further diversions into semantics... :-)
If it is an old-style external RS-232 serial modem, then AFAIK all it needs as far as a driver to access it is the serial port driver.
