hm, sounds like a RedHat system to me... I got myself a SoundBlaster 
PCI512 which actually uses emu10k1, funny enough that kudzu (sp?) in RH 
6.2 detected and configured the card automagically.... in Debian Potato 
(my main system now) it was a lot harder ;-)

have fun,

Gina

The correct plural of virus is "vi".  Throw enough of the little buggers
together and they neutralize each other and you get a usable text editor.
