He should've come here for help. :) I know for a fact that sound and the modem work on a Thinkpad (at least, *this* Thinkpad). I expect the hardware's similar on the TP600. It is a bit perplexing that he couldn't get sound to work, as I'm sure SUSE comes with ALSA, and i think Mandrake might as well. And he obviously didn't check out www.linmodems.org either. (Lucent modems, which is what IBM machines seem to have if they don't have a crappy MWave modem) work fine. ... But I take his point. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV/3 | I choose you to take up all of my time.
