compatible modem that will run in Linux. Redhat9 and Fedora has
drivers that would run it. I'm new to Suse and I don't know how to
set it up in Suse.
Also Suse doesn't have a "rc.local" file , if I build one will Suse
read it at bootup,
I have to put a setserial line in it.

Ok, Jim having this info in your mail to me might have helped in getting
more info to you. Do you know how to use YaST2? That is an important
part of getting things setup in SuSE easier than editing files as
apparently Fedora required you to do. Actiontec modems have always
worked nicely for me, so I suspect you'll have few problems.
Open YaST2 from your menu. It's listed as YAST under the
System>Configuration>YaST heading. From there, go to Network Devices,
where you'll find Modem. Select that, it will open, should find the
modem and from there you configure the ISP and other settings for it.
If indeed it's a hardware modem, there should be few if any problems,
but again, don't forget to set the time out to zero to eliminate the
connection from terminating early. Once that's done, KPPP & wvdial
will be set to make your connection. An icon in your systray, bottom
right, will appear for dialup but if not, just start kppp from the menu
the first time.

I got the modem to connect with wvdial and firefox browses..
Can't get Kppp to connect, it can't open the modem at ttyS1, the
settings in wvdial.conf and kppp are the same
but it won't pick up modem.
I can't find a dialer for the settings in Yast.
