i didn't mean to suggest you were too old (or any other reason) to learn.  i was just 
trying to say that the description of the problem was not very good.  if you have no 
idea where to start then i would suggest the '/usr/share/doc' files.  they can be good, 
they can be crap but it's a start.  between that and the /sys/i386/conf/LINT build for 
a guide line you should be able to get your sound card installed at least.  as for the 
ppp question i have no idea what your getting at (my original point).

perhaps someone has a better central source for starting out but that should be enough 
to get you going.  there's also the 'man 8 config' section.

a-z's not possible i'm afraid, unless someone else has one that they can supply you 
with.
