Modem and sound card problems

Here is my system:
AMD 266 mhz.
32 mb RAM
Internal Compac presario 56k-DF modem on com 2
ES 1869 sound card.
Qustion:
How do I get linux to recognise my modem and sound card?
I have tried kppp and it says it is unavailable and mincom says that I'm already on line. I have it set to cua1.
Also, the sound card does not work. I tried playing a cd through X and it would not let me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know this is general, but here's some links:

Also, make sure your Modem isn't a WinModem.
Maybe a fast solution for the soundcards is running soundcfg from the shell prompt.
