In order to use it in this way, however, I need it to either be able to use Symantec Q&A Write v3.0 for Windows, or be able to obtain a program that can do similar, if not identical work. What programs are available for this, and where would I find them? Would anyone have a recommendation?

Do you have a modem? ISDN card?
If it's supported, then it shouldn't be much of a problem setting it up.

I also have a ScanMagic 1200 UB Plus Scanner (USB). The last is where would I find sound support for an SB16 card for Linux? I like the sounds.
SB16 is supported in the kernel ( don't forget to load the module ). The Hardware FAQ on the Linux Documentation Project website will give you some answers on the the other pieces of hardware.
