No disrespect to the person who wrote the HOWTO, but I just use wvdial, enter the right info via Yast, select autoDNS. Then you can just run wvdial from the command line, or set up a shortcut. This is the contents of /etc/wvdial.conf, minus username and password of course [Dialer Freeserve] Username = your-user-name-here, this should include .fsnet.co.uk or .freeserve.co.uk depending on what yours is Modem = /dev/modem Password = whatever-your-password-is Area Code = Force Address = Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0 Tonline = 0 Compuserve = 0 Dial Command = ATDT Phone = 08450796699 Baud = 115200 Idle Seconds = 900 Auto DNS = 1 ISDN = 0 Stupid Mode = 1 Couldn't be simpler. Hope this saves you some time. regards Steve Ì wrote:

Welcome to Linux and congrats on choosing SuSE.
