I've found it to be very hit-and-miss trying to get through... and there 
doesn't seem to be any pattern to it...

(2.4.18, vanilla kernel)

When I connect sone speakers to my Vaio (and turn the volume RIGHT up) I've 
found that if I can hear the dialtone then hear it send the tonedials then 
it'll work...

Would be nice to get it talking properly to the sound card...
