Hello,

I have installed SuSE9.3 and tried to get the mauve speedtouch 330
(revision 2.00) to work. It works nicely on Mandrake 10.1 on the same
machine (dual boot).
Thanks to the instructions of .... it seems that the modem is operational,
because
1. The way the lights flash on that modem are familiar to me and suggest
that the microcode is uploaded correctly into the thing.
2. I get the following lines from /var/log/messages:

Apr 30 17:00:42 linux kernel: ADSL line is synchronising
.
.
.
Apr 30 17:00:58 linux kernel: DSL line goes up
Apr 30 17:00:58 linux kernel: ADSL line is up (1600 Kib/s down | 512 Kib/s
up)
Apr 30 17:01:15 linux hald[7624]: Timed out waiting for hotplug event
1051. Rebasing to 1079
Apr 30 17:01:29 linux su: (to root) vaessen on /dev/pts/2

But these lines are also the last lines of /var/log/messages and that
suprises me a bit.

Anyway, I tried to get configure the connection with my provider (xs4all,
The Netherlands) via Yast modules (configuring a DSL connection) but to no
avail. Perhaps no surprise because the connection it makes has the
unfamiliar name "dsl0" intead of the "ppp0" tha I have always known.

Not getting further, I read some information from a site that gave
described the set up of things under SuSE 9.2.
I put my secret info in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets as well as in
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets.
Then I created a file named:

/etc/ppp/peers/speedtch

containing:

lcp-echo-interval 10
lcp-echo-failure 3
noipdefault
defaultroute
user "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
noauth
noaccomp
nopcomp
noccp
novj
holdoff 4
persist
maxfail 25
updetach
usepeerdns
plugin pppoatm.so
4.48

The information for the username of course being adapted.
Next, a bootscript named:

/etc/init.d/dial

was made containing:

#!/bin/bash
modprobe pppoatm &&
#modem_run -k -f /etc/ppp/mgmt.o &&
pppd call speedtch

(Guessing that modem_run was no longer needed, the corresponding line was
commented out)

and some settings were made:

chmod 744 /etc/init.d/dial &&
cd /etc/init.d/rc5.d &&
ln -s ../dial S50dial


What I then found out was that the module pppoatm was not installed after
reboot.
I modprobed it then but after that, a new line was added to
/var/log/messages:

Apr 30 17:03:53 linux kernel: pppoatm: unsupported module, tainting kernel.

Maybe that was the reason why the bootscript /etc/init.d/dial didn't
install it.
I gave the command by hand, as root:

 pppd call speedtch

and the /var/log/messages was extenden with:

Apr 30 17:34:42 linux pppd[7887]: Plugin pppoatm.so loaded.
Apr 30 17:34:42 linux pppd[7887]: PPPoATM plugin_init
Apr 30 17:34:42 linux pppd[7887]: PPPoATM setdevname_pppoatm - SUCCESS:4.48
Apr 30 17:34:42 linux pppd[7887]: pppd 2.4.3 started by vaessen, uid 0
Apr 30 17:34:42 linux pppd[7887]: Using interface ppp0
Apr 30 17:34:42 linux pppd[7887]: Connect: ppp0 <--> 4.48

and a little later:

Apr 30 17:36:42 linux pppd[7887]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
Apr 30 17:36:42 linux pppd[7887]: Connection terminated.
Apr 30 17:36:42 linux pppd[7887]: connect(4.48): Address already in use
Apr 30 17:36:42 linux pppd[7887]: Exit.

So still no connection.
By the way: /etc/resolv.conf contains the DNS info.
