Nevermind... I discovered the problem. :) Art Coates Jr. wrote:

Here's what happens: I call pppd, the modem picks up, I hear dialtone for about a second, then the modem hangs up. I'm sure it's not a problem with the chatscript because I am using the same chatscript and /etc/ppp/options file that has served me nicely for several months now. I can tell you what might be the problem: the network settings in /etc and other setup files. I know I should know better than to go against the reccomendations of Yast, esspecially when the system operates correctly, but I was experimenting with routing, hostnames, DNS etc, etc... What I need is some way to repair or replace these files to support basic ppp with dynamic IP, remote server assigned hostname and default route, plus my local loopback. PPP and loopback are the ONLY network interfaces that I ever use, so I hope it's not too difficult to fix. I would even consider a re-install of all network packages in Yast if that would fix it. I'll sum it up here: "Lesson learned: don't play with a properly running system".
