Not from the laptop speakers or a telephone handset.  I don't hear anything 
modem related on the laptop.

No.

Or the binary portion or the driver is not really telling the hardware to 
actually go off hook?

As another point of data, I ran the local loopback tests with at&t1 for analog
and at&t3 for digital.  The digital test succeeded.  The analog test 
apparently failed.  I didn't have a loopback plug hooked in so, I'm not really
sure if the analog test should have worked.

In the BIOS, the only changable option is what appears to be the PNPOS YES/NO
option.  Of course, it is named differently.

PNPBIOS was not in my kernel config.  I added it just to test.  No change.

All PCI devices, other than the IDE controllers, seem to be hard-wired to 
IRQ 11.

This didn't make any difference either.

Ok, so they are used as a way to force attachment to a particular device at 
module load time?  Then I won't worry about it anymore.
