== Checking PCI IDs through modem chip suppliers ==
Vendor 10b9 is Acer Labs, producing highly integrated motherboards and Ali components.
The tight integration unfortunately ofter blocks identification of the modem chipset.
Desired information may be gained by using a COMM console under MS Windows,
and using ATI commands to elicit chipset and driver information.
10b9:5450 ALI 5450 and 10b9:5451 ALI 5451 are controllers for unsupported "sound modems"

=== Begin mc97 codec query ===
Files under /proc/asound/ do not include modem codec information.
If more decisive information is not given below,
this is a tentative signature of a Conexant hsfmodem. Download a hsfmodem package from
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers or your installation CDs. For SuSE/Novell, install both
km_hsfmodem and hsfmodem packages, for drivers and configuration tools respectively.
=== End mc97 codec query ===
Beginning check for older ac97_codec modems.
An older ac97_modem codec was not detected.
Information on several modem chipset providers is provided below,
because ambiguities remain on the correct choice of supporting software.

The slmodem-2.9.9 support was developed for 10b9:5459,
but there a range of reports the related 10b9:5457 modemd controllers:
fully functional;
functional only after a power on reboot from Microsoft windows;
hang/crash upon initiation of modem usage.
