I have a 56k modem that has run under Fedora and I want to setup in Suse10.1

The *first* thing to do is try YaST2 and see if it recognizes your modem. If it does, all this speculation and maneuvering is for no reason, as you will have answered your own questions. If it does not, come back for assistance.

I have all the settings corect in yast/modem setup and it is being detected,but when it saves , it ask me for mail settings and I abort those settings, I want to use Thunderbird as mail server, and I don't get a dialup icon in the panel tray. wvdial is detecting and logging modem on to sbcglobal.net, but that is having a problem Firefox doing a DNS lookup for suse.com.
