[WriteLog] sound cards

[NI7T]

Thanks to everyone for the good info...I found a card on Tiger
Direct..Startech 4 channel PCI card with a separate mic and line input and
claims to support duplex operation which I believe is the key factor...I am
going to wait a day to see if there are any other comments and then order
one for a test..I have 2 PCI slots on the box so it should work...
