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 Wow, it's even more out of date than I remembered.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.
