Dear managers,

I've received only one answer to my request from Peter Stern
<peter_at_wiscpa.weizmann.ac.il> (thanks Peter!) who suggested to call up
Digital Israel Service. But I decided before that to reinstall MME
services, and sound card was working now. I still couldn't realize why it
didn't work earlier but nevertheless...

Bye,
