Mike,

I was hoping that the modem would be served by serial drivers to avoid
compling stuff, but it might be the case that the modem could be
hosting a Conexant chipset?

If you can and have a chance for an alternate boot to windows, read
Softmodem.txt:

Predictive  diagnostics for card in bus 00:03.3:
        Modem chipset  detected on
NAME="Serial controller: Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965 KT
Controller "
CLASS=0700
PCIDEV=8086:2a07
SUBSYS=17aa:20d4
IRQ=17
SOFT=8086:2a07.MC97
IDENT=mc97

 For candidate modem in:  00:03.3
   0700 Serial controller: Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965 KT
Controller
      Primary device ID:  8086:2a07
    Subsystem PCI_id  17aa:20d4
    Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics:
                               from    Archives:




The soft modem is in the ac97/mc97 category. However the diagnostics
were not effective,
and an archival record for is lacking for the modem codec of pair:
        8086:2a07 17aa:20d4
Try to acquire more information by running the modem diagnostics under a
Microsoft boot,
as described in SoftModem.txt


If you can boot to windows(if it is installed) please run the
diagnostics and send them to us.

Regards,


Antonio
