Re: [TCLUG:6137] Modem and soundcard troubleshooting

[brady <bradyh@bitstream.net>]

I'm having similar problem(s)...I got a new motherboard and installed
Redhat 6.0 but it wouldn't recognize my modem or soundcard.  I got the
modem to work by moving it to a different slot.  That shouldn't have made
any difference but maybe it toggled some setting I don't know about that
fixed things...

For the sound you might try OSS at http://www.4front-tech.com you have to
pay for it but you can try it before you buy and it supports many more
sound cards than the standard Linux drivers...

As far as the modem goes - your best bet might be to buy an Aopen modem
from buycomp.com for $40 or so.  Check out this site:

it seems very informative
