Thank you very very much for your help. But connection does not work >:o :-(
Yousry, believe me that I followed your indications step by step, I used exactly the same files but connection does not work. To be sure that there was no previous errors I reinstalled Suse but no way. I also tried again the "linux.usb.org" steps for Suse 9.3 (after reinstalling again Suse to be sure that the system was clean of previous errors) but connection does not work. I am sure that all data I put are correct: login, password, (my modem is the silver one -revision 4), I am sure that my connection is PPPoE, Spain VPI VCI numbers are 8 and 32 (I even called my internet supplier to be sure of everything) but connection does not work. I checked the chap and pap-secrets files and tried to put login and password data with different quotation marks: ', ", even without quotation marks but connection does not work. Below you will see the end part of the script i got as per http://speedtouchconf.sourceforge.net/: --------------------------------- Settings: VPI / VCI : 8 / 32 Login : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Password : adslppp Are these correct?

Perhaps should I change of distribution? I learnt that there is a program called Wine used to start Windows from Linux. You know, to connect internet and get help without closing Suse but while installing new errors... I went to a corner of my room and started to cry. Next Monday I have an appointment with my psychiatrist to try to arrange the traumas this modem configuration is causing to me. Thank you very much Santi >From: "Yousry S.
