Ahh yes, that's it. Wow, it's even more out of date than I remembered.
RH 6.0, not 6.2. It says that the modem isn't supported, though the
Mwave (ACP) modem driver has been in the kernel for years. But the info
on setting the sound is more or less correct if one is using the OSS
driver, except that they talk about a hack to reload the driver after
boot. I don't remember ever needing something like that with the OSS
driver. I guess this info is OK, as far as it goes, but one should keep
in mind that it hasn't been revised in years and there is newer
information elsewhere. So it is a good place to start perhaps.
