k5-133 32 megs ram
2.0 gig HD
Debian 1.3.1
kernel 2.0.33 module 14f
ax25-utils-2.1.42a
soundmodem compiled as module
sound compiled as module
the irqs were the only thing i had to change from default
just use the ess1868's defaults irq 5 and mpu401 to 7
dont use soundblaster mpu 401... actually i see no need to compile in
midi..
i use the same computer for playing mp3's and have excellent quality
the soundmodem is sweet as gold if you compile it correctly
