The above is "find the menu entry to start up Yast", then, in yast find the entry for Network, then there find the entry for modem, etc. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Sorry, I lost the last one of your replies somehow, between my laptop and this one. Anyway I did go to......... menu-yast-network-modems....... It gave me the same message as I mentioned before, modem0 internetprovider Earthlink.net etc. So it seems to be there allright but when I start Firefox "no modem detected" Bless you,John H. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

But have you connected to the internet yet. On dialup, you have to connect before you can browse.
