Hope is not lost: have model 1700T which has conexant HSF winmodem. If
you have the same, there is source available and it can be done. Those
links you have are good. Here's my lspci:

00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX - 82443BX/ZX AGP bridge (rev 03)

and cat /proc/pci: [ edited ]

  Bus  0, device   9, function  0:
    Communication controller: Conexant HSF 56k Data/Fax Modem (rev 1).
      IRQ 9.
      Master Capable.  Latency=64.  
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xf4000000 [0xf400ffff].
      I/O at 0x1080 [0x1087].

Any similarities?
