- From my notes, in "/etc/permissions.local" I did:

Now I also added that line
I forgot to mention that you need to run:
SuSEconfig --module permissions
to apply the change. It will run automatically every day, anyhow: if you don't edit permissions.local it would change back to the default permissions.
I noticed the second last line in the output, something wrong here? # SuSEconfig --module permissions Starting SuSEconfig, the SuSE Configuration Tool...

I would try accessing the modem with minicom, but I'm unsure because of what you add later.
I can add that there also may be some bug related to the CDMA USB modem driver, because after disconnecting the modem and system restart, the /dev/ttyACM0 is disappeared and the driver has to be reinstalled (as root) and with output as follows:
Ah, not a plain modem, then, with a proprietary driver.
I suppose you don't need reinstalling the driver, but loading the pertinent module.
Can you tell how to load the pertinent module?
My provider's support has told me that the Gnome PPP launcher does work with this modem on Ubuntu, and this is also my main purpose on openSUSE.
However, I've never used this type of modems, I don't have experience with them. Some one was asking about a similar modem not too long ago: search the archive, perhaps for the word CDMA, in the last 8 months at least.
The closest related post from April 2007 I found was about "PCMCIA CDMA MODEM". The closest link I've used is this is one for another CMOTECH CDMA USB modem model than my D-50. It doesn't discuss any dial up problems however: HowtTo: Install Wireless EVDO CDMA usb modem Model MM 5500SU and Broadband Internet in Suse Linux 10.0, 10.1 – tested for Bigpond Australia. http://www.swerdna.net.au/linhowtoevdoinsuse.html But the most important, now I could dialup with wvdial as a normal user. Here follows the connection output, which I felt was somewhat long and contained many messages. Does this look ok, or is here something that can be corrected somewhere? (Just to mentione, I'm also connected with a wired ADSL/Network Manager at the same time):
