I know that some SB16 compatible cards are not so compatible. Have you read
the docs comming with the source tree? Anyway the sound support must be
configured in the kernel or in a module. Do you have any message at bootup?

What do you mean by *manually* ? Can you open or close it by another way?

What do you mean by *sometimes* ? Give us more hints (under which account,
under X ? ,...)
By the way, it's not possible to umount the cdrom if one of your processes
is accessing it, including your shell. So you must be out of the cdrom to
umount it. And you must umount it to be able to open it.

Can't help on that one, I have no modem :-)
Hope I was of any help, and give us more info about your problems.
Please forgive my English, I'm French speaking :-)
