I seem to have trouble getting recognised by my ISP
Can anyone point out to an ignorant novice what is going on here, and how to fix it.
How do I inform myself about "signal 15" & "exit code 19" etc
Where does the "[09]" in the "EARLY LOG" come from ?
I have installed 8.2 personal - I haven't come across any other problems yet

Here's your problem - the connect at 115200. You should be connecting at 57600. The 115200 is the speed your computer talks to your modem. What actually is happening in your case is that the two modems are not talking to each other, or your computer doesn't understand what the modem is trying to pass to it and, therefore, the connection times out. Check in YaST (that is, the part where the info re your modem and your ISP is set up) that the modem to computer baud rate is set to 115200; however, in /etc/wvdial.conf BAUD should be set to 57600. (If you are using kppp then set the rate there to 57600.) 115200 is the baud rate at which the computer and the modem talk to each other. 57600 is the (maximum) baud rate your modem can talk to your ISP's modem.
