Hi All,
I have gone through all sorts of grief getting my winmodem to work with 
linux. I am using SuSE 7.1. I have downloaded the kernel-source, have 
recompiled the kernel and sucessfully installed ltmodem-5.99b 
(www.heby.de/ltmodem).
When I issue the command wvdial, this is what happens:

OK
--> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Idle Seconds = 180, disabling automatic reconnect.
--> Sending: ATDT0 808 9933001
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT0 808 9933001
CONNECT 48000 V42bis
--> Carrier detected.  Starting PPP immediately.
--> Starting pppd at Tue Jun 12 21:24:17 2001
--> pid of pppd: 2472
--> Disconnecting at Tue Jun 12 21:24:18 2001
--> The PPP daemon has died: No ppp module error (exit code = 4)
--> man pppd explains pppd error codes in more detail.
--> Try again and look into /var/log/messages and the wvdial and pppd
--> man pages for more information.
linux:~ # exit

/usr/sbin/pppd: This system lacks kernel support for PPP.  This could be 
because
the PPP kernel module could not be loaded, or because PPP was not
included in the kernel configuration.  If PPP was included as a
module, try `/sbin/modprobe -v ppp'.  If that fails, check t
suse@linux:~ > /sbin/modprobe -v ppp
modprobe: Can't locate module ppp

I have only been using linux for two months now and have worked long and 
hard on getting this thing to work with SuSE. Could anyone give me some 
advice on what I need to do now as I am unsure at this stage.
Thanks,
Dallam
