Is my modem supported by the slmodem package?

Code:

# lspci | grep -i modem
00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 03)


First I don't know whether it is an intel or conexant modem.
Many people say that the only supported driver is the one at linuxant.com but I've found many people with the same modem (or at least with the same "lspci | grep -i modem" output) who managed to get their modems working with the smart link driver.
I'm totally confused. I'm getting the famous No Dialtone error. Well it could be due to various reasons, but for now I just would like to know whether it's supported by slmodem or not, so that I can confidently continue to work on this.

To sum up:
1. Is that Intel or Conexant modem?
2. Does slmodem work with it?
3. Has anyone with the same modem had success with it using slmodem?

I would very very grateful to get answers to these questions and I think this would very very helpful for many newcomers.

Here's the links that say slmodem works:

I don't know the answer to your question, but I have been battling with slmodem for my laptop's built-in Agere softmodem chip. The Linmodems Web site has a utility called scanModem that you can download and run. It scans your hardware, and the text files it produces tell you which driver is required (that is if one is available and assuming you have a softmodem in your PC). The Linmodems support page is http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/ and Item 8 on that page is a link to instructions on how to download, install and run the scanModem script. Reading through the various text files it produces should give you a better understanding of whether your hardware is supported by the slmodem driver or one of the other softmodem drivers they discuss.
