Hi Frank,
While I am not a specialist on Suse, first you will have to do something with your
inetd.conf. IT IS INSECURE THE WAY IT IS. That is unless you run an effective firewall.
# out everything at the beginning of the line (except the services you know you want
to provide). This will not affect , if you can look at FTP sites or Telnet to other
sites. This will effect if somebody can telnet,
finger ... into your machine! So disable whatever you do not want to provide and
restart inetd.
You should also look at creating a firewall later on (don't wait too long). Check out
the archive of HOWTO's:

For your dialup problem I suggest to review:

Hope this helps. Welcome to Linux
