The AnswerMe page, the one I pose the questions.
   
    E-mail: micro@hol.gr But first click here

    1) How can sound be transparent just like graphics?

    I have already described my setup in the SysMe page.
    In the small Pentium I usually run the X Server, an xterm
    without a window manager. Then I telnet to other machines
    call an xterm from there to my local X and run a desktop.
    This is useful, because the small computer runs just the graphics,
    and the rest runs in a stronger processor. But sound events stay
    in the remote machine.

    2) Trouble with a friends case with an internal modem (Not winmodem).

    The system does not detect its internal serial port.
    Setserial does not detect any modems.
    In my computer this works fine:
    setserial /dev/ttyS1
    /dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3

    as well as in his, for the known com1 & com2 ports.
    But for the rest ttyS* the report is:
    /dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4
    /dev/ttyS3, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3
    Two examples.

    And the rest:
    UART: unknown, Port: 0xffffffff, IRQ: 0
