Jason,
Check it out. Follow these instructions (if you want to run it PnP) and
it "should" work... it's how I finally got mine working (thanks
everybody for the advice!) Since I gave you that modem, I know it isn't
a Winmodem. =P However, if your sound card stops working then it's
probably a PnP conflict of some kind and you'll actually have to
configure it yourself.
run 'pnpdump |more' and see if the modem is listed in the text it spits
out. If it is, you're off to a good start... just run 'pnpdump
>/etc/isapnp.conf' to create your isapnp.conf file. Isapnp *should* be running at

Next edit isapnp.conf in your favorite editor and make sure that the
lines '(ACT Y)' and '(WAITFORKEY)' are uncommented -- not prefaced by
"#" -- and that there is only one of the latter and it's at the end.
Then use setserial again. For example, if you are going to use COM1
(ttyS0) you should 'setserial cua0' and make sure the UART is 16500a.
If not, make it so.
This worked for me... being a total newbie myself, my methods could have
been completely erroneous, but hey-- it worked and I can get online now
with no problems. =)
