Thanks for the help, though I am not quite sure why you have /dev/modem twice? Do I just need to type /etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-up /dev/modem Will the above work? Thanks, Aaron Ralph Clark wrote:

I am trying to use Suseppp to dial my ISP and not much is happening. I am typing /etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-up generic

and all I get is this little bit of output on the screen.

+++ATZ

Then after a little while I get returned to the command line.

The chat utility doesn't know about the modem; it refers by default to stdin and stdout. You therefore need to run the script with stdin and tdout redirected, i.e.

/etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-up generic < /dev/modem > /dev/modem

...And you're away.
