can't establish a dial-up conn with kinternet

I finally got 9.3 Pro installed and am very impressed. Only problem is I can't establish a dial-up connection with kinternet When I first installed, yast did not setup my modem. After installation, I tried to setup connection with yast. The kinternet icon is in the bottom tray and when I click, the modem starts dialing and I hear the modem working, all the proper led's are lit and the modem dies. I have an external modem on port tty0, com port 1. This modem works great on my libranet 2.8.1 system. Any help would be appreciated. jozien
