Thanks to Dan Kidger and Mike Rosing for the answers.
I didn't solve this problem, because this had burned my time.
The return connection is Ok. And I can use these.
Therefore I think the serial line interface is OK from booting.
I have to do more imported thinks (programming in Eiffel).
I wait for SuSE 9.1 and hope that it works than.
Gruss

I cannot login with modem connection to my SuSE 9.0 AMD 64 from a SuSE 8.1 system and other systems???, I don't know. The chat-script failed. I get the login prompt and can send the password and than fails the procedure, minicom cannot login also.
The modem devices are "/dev/ttyS0" or/and "/dev/ttyUSB0".
The way in return direction (9.0 --> 8.1) works for chat and pppd. I tested it with setuid-bit for pppd, but no success.
If I login in a opened xterm via $ su - ppploginname
than pppd server starts.
If I login on ASCII console (Alt-Ctrl-F1) then pppd cannot start properly. No answer for pppd on stdout.
Has anybody the same problem?
Not the same problem, but a similar one. I had a hard time getting ttyS0 to start and I also had problems with pppd. For me, the solution was to force the boot process to load the serial mdules.
Look in /var/log/messages and see if you can determine where the error occurs. Usually the system leaves complaints there :-)
