THANKS SO VERY VERY MUCH TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!
Well, I'm glad :-)
I would like to know what was the cause of all this, but... the important think is that it works.
About your the dns problem you were having, it could be that those two dns servers your ISP used where down - it can be checked with dig, I think. I have seen your message with a log report from wvdial, and I would think it is a problem with the resolv file not being modified properly by the ip-up script, as Joe Morris said. But this is academic now :-)
I prefer to use a local dns server configured as a cache - there is a default config in the suse packages for this. It makes for some faster connections over a modem.
I've just read your most recent response to Bernd re how to install this you-beaut-speeder-upper-of-modem-connections and I have to admit it had me totally confused within minutes :-). But maybe Bernd will not be confused :-). However, what I really want to know is: what exactly do you mean by "It makes for some faster connections over a modem."? Do you mean that you will get connected faster to your ISP when you dial-in? Or do you mean that the data transfer rates between you and the ISP will be faster once the connection has been established? Cheers. -- If logic ruled the World, men would ride side-saddle.
