Ok, so into mandrake I go, "dmesg | less", and here is a precis of the 
references made to the cdrw device.

I am presuming that this is kernel related information as to how the mandrake 
system is set up?

If so, and also your comment of mandrake being the reference system - I 
presume that this means that the basic setup would be the same? with either 
mandrake or debian?

So??? does this mean that I do need to set up the cdrw drive to have the scsi 
emulation for it to do any sound and possibly recording/burning ?

p.s. If your attempts at getting an adsl link don't happen, then at least I 
now have an 8 port switched hub.
