A friend in the UK had the same problem when DLing WvDial with Windoze.
You might do better if you connect and DL from SuSE.

Assuming you set your ppp network and ISP parameters (generic) in YaST,
you should be able to dial out in an xterm window by typing:

/etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-up generic

after you DL WvDial, close the connection with:

/etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-down

Then go for the un-zip/tar routine.

To be on the safe side I'd delete all existing WvDial files, zipped or
otherwise, so that only the one received with SuSE exists to work with.
