So... now the question is how to get an unlisted device to work. I mean, in the modem setup there is a drop-down list, and none of the items are as described above --specifically, tty/USB0. Could you point me in the right direction, please? This is a first, for me. I've never had this much problem getting online, before! :-\ <LOL>
Thanks! ...CH
make a symlink from /dev/modem to /dev/ttyUSB0 (not tty/USB0 as you wrote above). Then all apps trying to use /dev/modem (such as kppp) will be happy. (Make a symlink? Use konqueror drag and drop or in a console as root: "ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/modem")
I have an external ISDN modem that I need to use on the HP notebook because SuSE asks for a non-existent 'slammo' module relative to the internal, 56kbps AC-Link by Conexant. The problem is, this adapter requires a driver when using any flavor of M$ Windows and SuSE also doesn't know what to make of this adapter.
You can most probably use your internal modem. Are you using SuSE 9.0? then the drivers are there already. If < 9.0 get
You are the man. Guess I had too little sleep the night before to think of
that one. Makes perfect sense! :-)

P.S. Getting online is now a breeze!

About slamrmo: =========== Smart Link Ltd. http://www.smlink.com Smart Link Soft Modem for Linux.... It provides full-featured 56K Voice Fax Modem.
It will install: - modem kernel modules slmdm.o (modem core), slfax.o (fax) into '/lib/modules/<kernel-version>/misc' directory (standard linux modules' directory). - hardware specific kernel module slamrmo.o (for AMR/CNR/PCI) or slusb.o (for USB) into '/lib/modules/<kernel-version>/misc' directory (standard linux modules' directory). - country settings data file 'country.dat' into directory '/etc'.
Also it will: - create character tty device entry '/dev/ttySL0' with major number 212 and symbolic link 'dev/modem'. - config you '/etc/modules.conf' file in order to provide possibility for loading the modem modules into kernel on demand automatically by kmod, when you are going to use them. =========== SuSE 9 does contain all this and installs it, however in my case yast did get the device wrong. As in the readme from smartlink it is /dev/ttySL0 and not what yast though it was. Under SuSE 8.2 I did install the driver myself, following the readme (and ignoring that it says Redhat all the time and never SuSE) and it worked fine as well.
HTH, Matt
