I think you hit the nail on the head in your first sentence. It may be that the drivers for your modem/soundcard have not been updated to work in Win Me.  If you look in device manager is there a yellow exclamation point next to this device?  You might go to the web site of the manufacturer to see if this card will work in Win Me.  You might check the "inf" folder in Win Me to see if there is an "inf" for this device.  You might also check the drivers folder on the installation disk.
