1. you need to install the smartlink-softmodem package (use yast, same as installing any other package), AND 2. you need to set the slmodemd service to start up on boot - go to yast, system, runlevel editor, go down to slmodemd and enable it. 3. the modem device is /dev/ttySL0 > And, the keys on the keyboard are okay, buuuuuuuuuuuut > ssssssssssssometimes (erratically) a letter will take off on a joy ride (as > you've seen)...........

I found a post via google that suggested when this happens to try adding an option to your XF86Config file. do this: 1. open a terminal window and type the following: sux (you will be asked for the root password) cp /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/X11/XF86Config.old (this backs up the file in case you totally stuff it up) /opt/kde3/bin/kate /etc/X11/XF86Config you will now be in a nice editor, scroll down to the section that reads something like this (your options might be slightly different): Section "InputDevice" Driver "Keyboard" Identifier "Keyboard[0]" Option "Protocol" "Standard" Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" EndSection You need to edit it to add an extra option Option "XkbDisable" "true" That section of the file should look like this when you are finished: Section "InputDevice" Driver "Keyboard" Identifier "Keyboard[0]" Option "Protocol" "Standard" Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbDisable" "true" EndSection save the file from the menu. you will probably need to restart the X server, for you the best way to do that is probably to reboot. I must stress that this is a solution i found in realtion to a different computer, and it may or may not work. I having trouble finding out exactly what this does, but it should not do any permanent harm :-) > > Regards, > Bhaktavatsala Dasa (Vatsala) > > @ http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~vatsalaji - Hare Krishna!
