I have one such built in in my Dell Inspiron 8200, which is why
I'm following this thread with particular interest.

The strange thing is that under Windows the modem is configured
as a Conexant thingie ... or is the problem that I have both
and the Conexant thingie is the one connected to the actual
modem plug? Is there a way to know this (other than having a
look inside my laptop, that is)?

If it looks like this:

00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corp. 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Modem Controller

it is most likely on-board south bridge and MDC (or other riser)
modem. This may work with ALSA.

Or send me your lspci.
