I use an ISDN card of exactly the same kind, and the card works perfectly.
I set it up in Yast2. In fact I haven't tried yast1 in 7.0 for that purpose.
You should try that. My reason for turning to an internal ISDN card was the
lack of support for external ISDN adapters in Linux.
Also, you should consider making a clean install using Yast2, after the
configuration of the X-Server, you'll be prompted to set up printers, modem
netcard and sound. It's at that point, you must set up your fine ISDN Card.
You may as well, open Yast2 later on. Don't expect yast1 to be capable of
everything.
Cheers,
