The HP Pavilion 8670C came with a Conexant/Rockwell Riptide SoftK56 winmodem/soundcard combination card, slightly modified for HP by bean counters. You may be able to get the winmodem (which isn't a real modem, but a sound card function) to work with linmodem drivers, however I wouldn't recommend it, as it will use heavy CPU time to do all the conversion. Conexant promises Linux drivers for the modem part by the end of the year, but I wouldn't hold my breath. The sound card part isn't supported by the Alsa project drivers, as far as I can tell. There are OSS drivers available for Riptide, though, but they cost more than the whole modem/soundcard combo does ($20 for the Linux driver plus $15 for the Riptide low-level driver - available at <URL: http://www.opensound.com >). My advice is to invest $20 or so on a cheap but better supported sound card, and get an external or internal non-Winmodem if you can't get linmodem drivers to work satisfactory.
