I don't know a thing about routing, instead I will recommend the program I use- pptpconfig, the graphical frontend to the pptpclient[1] program. Setting up pptpconfig and getting connected to the Net using pptpconfig was a breeze, even without knowing anything about PPTP and routing... There are suse-9.2 specific instructions on the site for getting pptpclient installed and running[2]. Make sure you un-check the "Require MPPE" checkbox in the Encryption tab, it is on by default but I assume the connection uses a user+passwd instead, like mine does (I'm connected through Netvision). BTW, let me recommend that instead of Suse, you let your friend try out Mepis. It's a live-CD (so she can try it before installing it on her HD), it's *so* easy to install that it's not even funny, it's newbie-friendly and its Debian based so it uses apt-get ;) Most importantly for us, it comes with pptpconfig pre-installed and working "out-of-the-box".
