I've had Mandrake 8.1, 8.2 and RH 7.2 & 7.3 (hey i'm experimenting!) running on a dell inspirion 3200 (P233mmx 144 megs of ram) I didn't have an internal modem to worry about, but my soundcard has been wonky.

I had it working, but changed distributions and lost it.  I seem to remember that I had to unselect PnP in the bios and use sndcfg to set the interrups, etc.

Google was fairly helpful for me, probably more helpful than this reply was.. ;)
