I also want to ask about setting up sound and the built-in modem. Yep, it's
one of those funky Mwave DSP / MDSP2780 Winmodems. Will it work with the
standard Mwave driver? And, I've heard that sound under Linux isn't
supported. Hope that has changed.

Should have any problem with setting up X. Same Trident Cyber 9385 chip set
as the 760XL, and that always played fine with Linux.

Again, Thanks.
