yast->network devices->modem If it's auto-detected you're away, if not, things are more complicated. Show us the output of lspci, it should show which type of losemodem is in your lappy. If it's connexant, the driver costs US$20 and obviously isn't included in SuSE. If it's Intel 536, the driver is missing from SuSE 9.1 because it keeps locking up on the 2.6 kernel. If it's lucent/agere, you should be fine. Yast prompts for installation of any driver package if necessary, but if it prompts for Intel-536ep you're out of luck. Btw SuSE has excellent user and admin manuals, included as pdf and html. If you want the printed version you'll have to buy the box. These explain all these basic things.
