If you have a winmodem in your laptop this may interest you, especially if it uses the conexant HSF chipset. A new driver has been released and it worked straight awy for me. You can get it from http://www.mbsi.ca/hsflinux in tarball or RPM form. It might be better using the RPM with SuSE since it doesn't just install under /usr/local. It was written by Marc Boucher and all the code is open source. It might be worth looking at also if those Olitec binaries didn't work for you. After I installed, I ran hsfconfig. This didn't detect my modem but it asked for the PCI vendor and device ID's and it went smoothly after that. (PCI 8086:2446 in my case). I then configured the modem with yast2, ran wvdial and I was on the internet with linux! This will be my last ever e-mail with outlook express unfortunately. See you later Windows! Regards, Chris ps. If you're interested, my modem is listed with lspci as an Intel 82820 820 (Camino 2) chipset AC'97 modem controller. Under windows it's identified as a Conexant-Ambit Softk56 Data, Fax modem
