Thanks a lot Roy for these tips, especially for the links! I think I'll
go ahead and fetch a 2.2.* kernel and compile that, including sound
according to your instructions; I believe there were some source debs
under the URL that you gave me but I have to check that again.

I must say it really pisses me off that I have to re-compile the kernel
just to make the soundcard work (it happens that I have a SB16 PNP, too,
that's fairly standard hardware IMHO even here in Germany), but maybe
it's worth the effort. I just hope ppp and the other stuff won't
complain after the upgrade. 

BTW, did you see an increase in mem requirements after switching to
2.2.4?

Thanks again,
