AFAIK, a couple months ago, Linuxant was still putting out drivers for conexant "modems". They had two licensing levels 1) free, (as in beer) that unlocked the modem to 14.4k and one around $25US, i think that unlocked fax and full-speed operation. I have to say, its not a bad deal (without getting into the whole freedom issue) in that my previously unusable modem now works just fine. Relatively painless except that most kernel upgrades require a recompile, and there is that ungly "tainted kernel" message on boot. For my purposes, it works just fine -- occaisional faxing in or out -- and i didn't feel the price was too onerous. When that modem dies, I'll replace it with a proper one, but in the meantime, it works.
