i have an IBM aptiva, which came with the Mwave modem/soundcard 2-in-1
card, it is mere impossible to get the modem to work, but it is possible
to get the soundcard to work (read mwave.txt in the kernel docs).

i have tried multiple times to get the modem to work, with failure
everytime. the card, needless to say, is in the bin now.
