Hi,

I recently installed 10.1

I use a modem to connect to the internet, and I configured the modem using yast.

I use kppp to dial-up. However, after rebooting, I always get the error

"kppp cannot find /dev/modem"

To rectify this, I launch Yast, use Network Devices | Modem | Edit | Next | Next | Next | Finish.

I change nothing.

Then I go to Kppp again, and it dials and connects fine!

What is going on?

Don't know but I have the same behaviour with my printer: won't print until I go into Yast where, even though I have configured the printer several times, Yast shows that I have an "unknown" printer but simply clicking on FINISH gets the printer to immediately print what is in the queue.
