Yes, they work with both kernel series, but the speed is limited to 14.4
kbps, see
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/downloads-license.php

Running the modem at 14.4 kbps is a real pain, in practice not usable.
The latest version without the speed limitation is hsflinmodem-5.03.27 and
these drivers don't work with kernels 2.6.x!!
