Okay, I have a Conexant 8280 AC'97 Modem. I eventually found it under
networking after wondering why it wasn't in Hardware. (My bad!)

I tried to configure it, but YaST insisted on a network provider,
phone number username and password. I have no idea why it would want
one. I'd probably use the modem for faxin, if anything.

It then asked me about configuring mail.

In any case, I have no outside phone line ATM to try.

I'll try it again when I get home.
