On my Dell Inspiron 8600, lshw says: product: 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller > This includes the integrated AC97 sound and modem features.

So I am wondering if there might be some Your problem might be different, but I solved my reliability problems with this script: # This script takes care of reloading the modem driver in the proper # order # This is necessary because the snd-intel8x0m gets loaded first and the # slamr driver then is not.
