LogOn FUBAR & A new ISP to run Linux - Advice?

Two to three weeks ago, about the time EFN was moving its servers and becoming a Brand Name owned by EPUD my SuSE linux 9.0 on a Laptop ceased to be able to connect.

Quoting my LOG from memory:

 Looks like a login
 sending login
 looks like a password request
 sending password
 NO SUCH COMMAND AS "PPP"
 Legal COMMANDS
( ed.: little list follows)
 hangup
 don't know what to do
 trying to start ppp
 NO CARRIER



No matter how I jiggle YAST - no joy.

My MAC OS X G-4 hasn't even noticed a bump in the road. I sign on "as usual" every day.

I just Installed SuSE 9.1 Pro, clean install, formatting everything, and:

 Looks like a login

( ed.: little list follows)
 hangup

Sigh............ I called both EFN and EPUD and am told "Linux isn't supported".

The last time rather well shall we say "crisply"?

Please, some GURU help me here. I am a perennial newbie and need to make my Linux Laptop go on the go.


Multiple nested thank u zzz.
