These pages contain
extensive information on the HCF modem:
(For the HSF - Soft56 - Go here.)
NOTE: Conexant has recently introduced a new version of HCF and
HSF chipsets. The new chipsets (CX06834-11) provide 'complete' V.92 support (PCM
upstream does not work with 'V.92' drivers for the old chipset version 6795-xx).
The new chipset will not work correctly with generic and OEM drivers designed
for the old chipset. Conexant generic drivers do not fully support the new
chipset.
Conexant Generic Drivers!!! - Links to the
Conexant site for 'generic' HCF and HSF modem drivers have been added to the Firmware/Upgrades
page for HCF, as well as the Soft56/HSF.
Note that Conexant's generic drivers do not support all enhanced modem functions
(voice), but thanks to Dmitry Mishchenko aka 'The Doctor', there's a , Universal
Driver, and HxFBooster program available for download
from Modemsite. More Info.
Windows XP: Driver support for modems with
HCF chipset is included with Windows XP; however, not all HCF-based modems will
be recognized when XP is installed - especially if you are upgrading from
previous version of Windows. See XP & Modems.
NOTE - an
alarming number of owners don't know what firmware (driver) version they are
using! If you don't know - or haven't updated your firmware - you may
be amazed at how much better your modem is with the latest
update!
"The Doctor" Dmitry has written HxFBooster,
which allows user to adjust and tweak modem settings, and can assist in
installation of driver. The HxFBooster, and the Doctor's driver
upgrades are available for download from Modemsite.
Karen Tamrazian has written an HCF
Configurator Program which among other things allows users to view and
set s-registers as well as to set data, fax and voice transmit
levels. (This program may not work with all versions of Windows and may not
be updated - try the Doctor's HSFBoost program instead.
