From: Nick
i'll think you'll find suse has its own dialler, iirc it is called
ktinternet or similar. no doubt volker will pop up soon and tell us.
Yeah I get the hint ;)
For distros other than SUSE, kppp is probably the correct answer for
controlling the dialling. For setting up the modem it's distro
dpendent.
For SUSE, you forget that you ever heard anything about kppp, and use
kinternet. In any case, configure your modem properly in yast first -
If Bryce got lost about this point, it is likely because kinternet is
not the dialler for GNOME on Suse (which Bryce is using), but I could be
wrong. I'd be surer about advising him if he'd not been urged off a
dedicated GNOME distro in the first place. :)
Just wanting to see *nix best supported,
cheers
