I'm not much of a modem person since I haven't used one in years..but I am sure that someone can help this person.

I agree with Ben's comments.
I'm assuming that you have a PCMCIA modem. If this is the case, the device
should be available as /dev/modem. However, you need to make sure that PCMCIA
service is running. Maybe START_PCMCIA in /etc/rc.config is set to 'no'. Try
the following as 'su root'.
mw290364@lagothrix:~ > su root
Password:
root@lagothrix:/home/mw290364 >rcpcmcia start
This is SuSE 7.2 syntax. If it's incorrect I'll dig out my SuSE 7.2 handbook.
Let us know how you get on.
