You were exactly right!

I read up on ALSA et al., downloaded the software, and started to
compile.  Only then did I download kernel 2.6.1 and discover ALSA
drivers are now in the kernel.  Doh!  Anyway, I cranked up xastir
after rebooting with the new kernel and starting soundmodem, and
everything is working fine!  Seeing acks come back from my aprs messages
really capped off the effort.  So now that everything is working...I
have to learn what other applications are available on packet.  :-)

Thanks very much for the help getting my laptop "packeting."
