[ale] sound card - cs4231

[Geoffrey]

Trying to move my 'audio caller id' system to a standalone box, intent 
on crushing all of these recorded voice spammers.

So, I've got some older hardware, modems and sound cards and such, but 
can't get the right mix.  A couple of questions.

I've got a combo sound/ide/modem card, where I don't care about the ide, 
the modem works great, but I can't get the card to be 'seen'.  It's an 
isa cs4231 Crystal card.  sndconfig doesn't see it, kudzu sees the modem 
and properly configures it but doesn't see the sound card.  There are 
jumpers for pnp/software, and I've tried them both.  The bios is set to 
'not a pnp OS.'  There's not much else for configuring the sound card. 
There are jumpers to select the modem settings (irq, tty), but all I see 
for the sound card is one to select the mic. type and another (I'm not 
sure what this one's for, looks like sound) listed as: base address 
(22xH or 24xH).

So, of the three modems I have, this is the only one that properly 
displays name and number.  One other gives the number, but not the name. 
  The other doesn't recognize the CID command so I guess it doesn't 
support caller id at all.

If I stick another sound card with this modem/sound card, there's 
apparently a conflict as neither will work.  The standalone sound card 
does work without the second one in there.

I think the only working solution is the current modem/sound combo, 
unless I can in some way disable that sound card to permit the 2nd card.

If you've read this far, any suggestions would be appreciated. :(

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
