1) Is dialup possible in 8.2pro? it was in 7.3 personal web not email
Yes, I use dialup via an external modem on ttyS0 to surf and collect email (SuSE 8.2 pro). I use KPPP to connect.
2) what third party site has the instructions? I find nothing useful on suse.com nor in the installed directions which were followed to the letter.
KPPP has an extensive help page which helped me through my setup problems.

Here is your problem (I think), your mail program cannot find the smtp and mail servers. There appears to be a problem either with your DNS setup ( should be configured automatically on connection to point at your ISP's DNS servers ) or possibly your routing. Your default route entry was 'blank', which might be alright if it is configured automatically (default action normally). This might or might not help - I'm not an expert I'm afraid.
