Thanks Stan for the help! See my other comments below.

I've not yet done what you say above-- I'm currently using another desktop computer which has the Linux distro MEPIS as OS. Maybe I'll test it tomorrow or on Friday or perhaps I'll wait to see what you or someone else might say about the statements below.
My other desktop computer that had this kppp-alsa problem is the one in which I have sidux (a Linux distro) as the OS. I told readers in a sidux forum what you told me above (but I didn't use your name nor email address-- I called you "a helpful guy"). One man in Germany - a guy named Michaa - wonders what you think about another sound card found when I ran the script you told me about and the output of which is presented at
http://www.pastebin.ca/1055338
Michaa wonders about line 49 in the output:
PCI Soundcards installed in the system:
02:01.0 Communication controller: NetMos Technology PCI 9815 Multi-I/O Controller (rev 01)
You can read Michaa's comments in the sidux forum at http://tinyurl.com/6aqz8o
[Incidentally, for each of my Linux desktop computers, I use an external, serial, 56K US Robotics modem which is known to work well with Linux.]
Thanks,
Stan
