I finally got 9.3 Pro installed and am very impressed. Only problem is I can't establish a dial-up connection with kinternet When I first installed, yast did not setup my modem. After installation, I tried to setup connection with yast. The kinternet icon is in the bottom tray and when I click, the modem starts dialing and I hear the modem working, all the proper led's are lit and the modem dies. I have an external modem on port tty0, com port 1. This modem works great on my libranet 2.8.1 system. Any help would be appreciated.

Check in the /etc folder(directory) that you have a file called resolve.conf There does not have to be anything in it just that it is there. Do not confuse it with the resolvconf file (note the absence of the full stop). If the file is not there just create it as a text file. This has worked for me in the past both with SuSE and with Kubuntu both using KDE (kinternet, kppp).
In the 10 years I've been workong with Linux i've never come across a distro that wants an empty file named /etc/resolve.conf. /etc/resolv.conf otoh (notice the absence of the 2nd 'e') is mandatory of you want to use nameserver(s). It is useless to leave it empty though, read up on 'man 5 resolver' if you want to know what is expected in that file. How this would have anything to do with a non-responsive modem is beyond me btw., but maybe your xtal ball has more

Well, all I have done is posted up what helped me. I do not have a clue how it worked but it did. All I was getting was an error message saying something about not being able to find (or possibly access) the etc/resolve.conf (I may have added the 'e' in error). So I went into the etc folder and simply added it. My dial up connection then worked. I'm pretty sure I have seen exactly the same happen in Mandrake.
Perhaps I am just very lucky?
