Is it possible to move a couple jumpers and take it out of PNP mode? 
That typically works best.

The other option is to check Windows or DOS to see what resources the
modem is currently using.  If it's using something non-standard, you can
use setserial in Linux to adjust where Linux looks for the modem.

I _think_ those cards are ESS1370/1371 based.  If so, there really
shouldn't be anything stopping you from running sndconfig and having it
detect the card.  Are modules loaded when you attempt to run sndconfig
that are causing conflicts?  What errors does sndconfig give you?
