I use my laptop with Slink and Win98 50-50.

Still I have not been able to get the modem or sound card to work
under Linux on my Sony Vaio 505 TX.

I have tried xisp as somebody suggested here, and I get a message
' pppd returned 1!' when I try to dial.

I have tried kppp and I got the message
'pppd is not properly installed!'

I have the feeling that upgrading to potato may help.
