I have a card just like that (I've got a Compaq too), but I use it
with OSS, i.e., the modules that come with the kernel. I tried to use ALSA
before, but it didn't work. Using the "sb.o" module it works, though I can't
get rid of the nasty "3D effect" that makes everything sound like s**t :-/ I
use these parameters:
options sb dma=1 esstype=1869 io=0x220 irq=5 mpu_io=0x330 dma16=5
I don't remember where I got that data about irqs and dmas from, but I
guess it was from Windows O:-)

You probably need to add your user to some groups. For KPPP it surely
is "dialup" (check it looking the permissions of the /dev/ttyS* device that
points to your modem), and for windows partitions you should create a group
and mount them under that group (using the "gid" option in fstab).

Is this romanian? I knew it was based on latin, but never knew to what
point; this sentence is quite understandable :-) (my first language is spanish)
