I think i need to sort out whether the driver is installed with the correct one, and how to direct the efax-gtk to use this pci.
I tried to find the name of the conexant driver, something like /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 to input in efax-gtk field, but do not know the command
suggestion on whether driver installed correctly and how to command efax-gtk or entered the correct hardware so that efax-gtk working would be appreciated, thanks
regards,
Sugi

If you have a Conexant software modem you are probably out of luck. There are proprietary drivers available from a company called linuxant, but they have not been updated for a long time and will not compile with any recent kernels. If you do manage to install a working modem, dmesg should tell you what its device file is, but it will probably begin with /dev/tty… . It certainly won't be /dev/sda… , which are the device files for a hard disk.

I have an old computer here with all the periherals . I want to put it to good use, that is where i found efax-gtk.
i tried the linuxant website, and install the modem detector, went through all the installation and got an error logfile that I emailed to your address separately ( just in case you need it for reference)
Can you please inform me which kernel edition of linux or ubuntu should i install on my old computer, intel pentium 4 , 1.8 GHz with 512 MB RAM in order to get the efax-gtk run ( and if possible LAMP on same computer)
Thank you again for your time.

I you are referring to your software modem, no idea, sorry. You could try emailing linuxant but I suspect they do not operate as a business any more.

thank in advance for any help.

The program does not emit "communication UNCLAIMED" so that is nothing to do with efax-gtk.
You will have to be more specific about the second error and report exactly what happened.
thanks for reply.
the log goes like this when i click standby button:

any idea what is going on ? how to fix this?
thanks in advance for your help.

Possibly you have specified the wrong device as the modem. Alternatively that device does not support faxing - in particular, not all soft modems do.
not really,
this is what i got when I lspci
01:02.0 Communication controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. Conexant SoftK56 Data/Fax Modem (rev 01)
and when i sudo lshw
*-communication UNCLAIMED
