Yep, that's a bit of a problem if you want to test with SuSE server.
I suspect they'll get round to that some time soon.
Since I have yet to go through this whole thing (BT is coming round
to install the NTBA/NTE box next week), I'm not exactly basing
this on practical experience.
But, I believe your PtP partner will need to be configured by you,
that is you'll need to know what your ISP is using on their side.
As for your address, since you're not on a LAN, specify anything.
Your ISP will assign one for you, once you're dialled-in, and this
will overwrite anything you specify.

You should be able to use any nameserver you know of. The ones
provided by your ISP are probably the ones closest to you,
but if you can't figure out if they're the right addresses, just
use any old name-server (try 195.232.1.4, ns1.compuserve.co.uk)

That's fine - but when the ISDN connection is made, it should also
set-up a default route for your system. If you don't have a default
route, (and no other network, as you said) no IP-traffic will ever
leave your machinen, except perhaps broadcasts.
So once your connection is up, and your dynamic IP has been assigned,
your should also see a default route (netstat -rn).

It might be wise to rebuild the kernel for your system. I have never
had a problem with the SuSE pre-built kernels, but I always build
my own. That way I know exactly what is in my system.

Could be all sorts of things - depends on what you've got running
on your system. Could be a name-lookup, a broadcast of sorts,
anything.
