I run the same and it works fine under V4.0. It has some problems that
require a custom kernel to boot under V3, so it's a bit hard to deal
with prior to V4.0.

The sound card works OK. Configure with PNP and pcm and that's about
it.

The internal modem is a useless Winmodem, unfortunately, although
several PCMCIA modems are reported to work fine.
