Of course Novell will take one or the other version as a SnapShot for the Enterprise line. With a bit more around, a bit tighter... What's wrong about this?

Nothing as long as the bugs are fixed.
And they are. I think I've got one, maybe two outstanding reports on alpha2. And one on 10.1 too. All the rest have been fixed.
The fact that the bugs are not being fixed
I would suggest you substantiate that claim. Perhaps you could provide a list of unfixed reports?

Easy enough if you check your files..
Go back check your bug file and you will find that I submitted a bug report on the modem issue at the OpenSuSE Beta 9 level. That is significant as I received a email back stating that the email issue would only be fixed in the commerical version of SuSE 10.1. I purchased the commerical version of SuSE 10.1 and guess what the modem still does not work.
email address was either sotl155360 or s0tl155360 @earthlink.net

so, after you told us a lot of things like a story about a man and a dog, how IT-stuff should be done ( btw: in the last 15 years I have never worked the way you told us, and even now as I have my owen office I and the others here don't work that way ),and a few other things I didn't remember because it get in and out of mind - after all I have one - for me last - question:
was there any constructive steps you have done after you checked the commercial versionand found the modem still not working ? anything you have done instead of "rumbeling" on this list ? any eMail / contact to Novell to fix the problem ? asking someone on the list on a constructive way to get your modem working ?

I do not keep logs of everything I do under a dozen different email addresses but that does not mean that I forgot everything I do so I you are expecting a geek type log forget it.
I have reported 30 or so bugs under at least 3 different log in to SuSE about various issues with 10.1. Why not use the same login - simple they are password protected and I keep loosing the password and log in information in my updates.
Back to the modem
The modem cuts to the vary hart of the issue. I have had modems connecting to the internet since the Red Hat 5.x days so it is an old issue that did work that does not not now work and is critical to the usage of internet connection for the majority of people connecting to the internet. Geeks, corporations, et tend to have DSL connections. Corporate executives and many engineers tend to travel around. Great. Some times if one is lucky the office, hotel, library et such people happen to be in have WiFi other times a cable connection is available many times the only connection is good old dial up by long distance. I know been there, done that. Now if one is fortunate enough to be able to connect to the internet by WiFi say at a local library that does not mean that one is able to send email or and attached files. Most often the sending of email is blocked at such locations. Yes sometimes one can send email by a browser and again some times not. Been there done that. Some times when you are lucky it works; some times when you have an ass or an ignoramus for an IT administrator it does not then you are back to the old modem so this is not a trivial issue. It is a major issue.
From a technical point of view I am perfectly of making the damn modem work myself. That is not the issue.
The real though comes down to attitude and I want Linux to succeed not fail which it surely will if it continues to remain a complete geek thing which no one else can use because installation exceeds their ability which really pisses me off when it is an issue that was solved and fully operational 10 years ago.

I know why to use a modem. and even not - a simple " I need it" could say it also. but the question is still open: what did you do after you get the "commercial version" and saw that the modem isn't working ?
