I went there, and I also downloaded and read their 127 page manual (xpdf
works well). NOWHERE was there mentioned the FCC registration, which meant I
still had to parse

Manually. This did not improve my attitude toward Silly WinModems, not even
one little bit.
Your modem does appear to be listed with this FCC ID
FELTAI-33947-M5-E
And the listing is in bright RED. There is a Conexant driver, and it does
work with some conexant winModems, but this isn't, apparently one of them.
If you feel like investing a great deal of time, you might get it to work,
but it is definitely cheaper to go get a modem that is listed on the same
page with a GREEN bar on the left.
