wowo, i haven't been on in SO long!! ok, anyway, i was wondering how to
configure sound on my linux/nt box. i have the installation guide with
all of those helpful tips-and-tricks on how to get things done in linux,
and i haven't been feeling very tippy or tricky with it lately. i just
got X-windows up and running (which was a big feat for me, it was
broken!) and i looked into the control panel, and then modem
configuration. then i clicked on the COM1 under MS-DOS, and can you
believe it!? It Doesn't Do Anything!! well, that was my first problem.
my next problem is with my sound. first of all, i was at the shell, and
ran /usr/sbin/sndconfig, and then i entered in my sound card
specifications, but when i click on OK, i get an error message
complaining about mod (im sorry, but i forgot the name of the thing
other than mod, its been a while when i tried it, and im in NT
now....oops)something or rather not working.. i need help, and i'd
appriciate it if someone would!

thanks,
