Does all Conexant modem chips support voice? I am doing a voice telephony project on a regular Dell PC with a Conexant modem chipset. I am wondering if it will work.

Basically, all recent (i.e. for the last 7 years) modems, except for some hardware-controller-based chipset (ACF) will support voice.

Aloha! Richard.

Thanks a lot. It looks like the DELL D850 V.92 PCI modem in my PC doesn't have the voice portion of the driver. Can you help to find a driver with voice support? Is writing drivers for modems a very difficult task? Is it difficult to find modem driver developers? Our company may need one.

Writing a modem driver for a soft modem, or a controllerless modem is a next-to-impossible task. You'd need a TEAM of highly qualified people to do it - maybe if you had a million-dollar budget....

And, I think I may have misled you with the first response, because it does appear that Dell has OEM'd this modem from Conexant as a data/fax modem without voice.

Aloha! Richard.
