the hsf_k56k.sys process is distributed as the K56NT driver and is included in the driver utilities and firmware resources that are bundled with Conexant soft56 modems, which are internal network cards designed for Windows-based computers. This driver file is responsible for assisting in the communications between the Conexant modem device, its driver utilities and firmware components, the Windows system itself and certain hardware resources that are equipped into the motherboard of the computer. This driver file stores a number of system settings associated with the Conexant soft56 internal modem device, which is normally pre-installed in certain motherboards of laptops and desktop computers that run on widely used versions of Microsoft Windows. The hsf_k56k.sys process also aids the other firmware resources and driver utilities of these Conexant devices in implementing the network features provided by these Conexant soft56 internal modems into the Windows-based system.
