I should mention that if you want to use the kernel soundmodem driver
(as distinct from the userspace soundmodem driver) you will need to do a
bit of module fiddling. One has to remove the ordinary soundcard drivers
(ie to play music) to use it for packet. From memory this driver is also
not unloadable so to get your ordinary sound back a cold boot is needed.

As of kernel 2.6.0 (actually as of 2.5.something), the kernel
soundmodem driver no longer exists.

Have a look at the Baycom website, the soundmodem driver is alive
and well, having moved from a driver to userspace (this means it
works with a lot more soundcards). I've had the newer version
up with many of the recent RedHat versions. As far as soundcards,
I'm partial to the ES1371/ES1373 based cards these days...
