I don't have my 5.3 yet, but if it's like my 5.2, then for some reason suseppp isn't installed automagically. You need to fire up yast and install suseppp, it's located in the 'n' packages (I think). I never got suseppp for 5.2 to work for me, but maybe 5.3 has it fixed. I recommend setting up your scripts by hand. It really is a matter of cutting and pasting the relevent portions of the PPP-Howto in to the right files, editing them for your ISP and setting the right permissions on files like /sbin/pppd, /dev/ttyS?, etc. There have been a bunch of threads on this very topic over the last few weeks. Of notable mention is wvdial which appears to have worked well for many. I cannot attest to its ease of dialup setup, but you might want to search through the SuSE mailing list archives...

My real question is... following the manual... Im comming to a dead end

yast tells me I need a file...suseppp do a search... where is it and why wasnt it installed in the first place if I selected a full network configuration. This isnt too reassuring for future settting up of the network

In my directory tree, suseppp is /file/etc/suseppp It is a directory, not a file. Hope this helps. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

It says in the man... supposed to be in /usr/share/suseppp

 Thanks Steve I must be really screwed.... I dont have a dir --> /file

Oops. Never try to read late at night. That should have said /etc/suseppp The word "file:" is default and I should have known better. Still probably not getting you there. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

I can attest to wvdial. It is fantastic, but you must first NOT install any diald. If you allow dial on demand you will cut off the connection that wvdial has made. <A HREF="http://www.worldvisions.ca"><A HREF="http://www.worldvisions.ca</A">http://www.worldvisions.ca</A</A>> Read back over the threads, indeed. It has been a lengthy study on my part, for sure. On Sun, 06 Sep 1998, you wrote:

WOW!....That is *very* nice!!! Im hooked. My hat is off to the developers, beautiful!! I was trying to invoke kde at the command prompt and it would attempt to start but then say "no server" For me the problem is learning the ways of suse as opposed to rh But Im not going back the desktop is just beautifull!!
