General Information
Originated by Conexant on 20 April, 1999 this was a development of the enormously successful, Rockwell-originated HCF chipsets. The main innovation was the use of the “SmartDAA” silicon chip. This latter had the advantages of zero power-draw from the telephone line, elimination of mechanical components, simple worldwide homologation of the entire chipset, improved lightning protection and, of course, meant that Conexant could sell the modem manufacturers a DAA.

The SmartHCF was pin-compatible with the SmartHSF SoftK56 chipset. This allowed one set of development work to produce two modems. The SmartHCF was sold at a premium compared to the SmartHSF (it is a much, much better chipset) although the difference in parts-cost is negligible.

The SmartHCF-USB is the USB variant of this chipset, whilst the SmartHCF/M is another variant of the same chipset, but designed for mobile (mini-PCI, Cardbus) computers.

Site Info, History & Page Stats

These pages are a LAMP-development of the original Modem-Help, UK site (most of the old HTML pages still exist, but havn’t been updated for quite some time). That site, in it’s turn, was a transfer from the first html site on free-pages at Freeserve (sadly, now gone). The current format allows superb search facilities, customisation by Registered members, plus is quick ‘n’ easy to update.

Diligently put together in the UK by Alex Kemp. All efforts have been taken to ensure the veracity of what is written - if you know of any errors or omissions then please let us know.
