Your right it has, it working now. SuSE uses wvdial, it always works. But very strange it's using /dev/ttyS0. In mdk 7.2 it was /dev/ttyS2, at the moment suse is /dev/ttyS2. Is there any other way of running wvdial than suid root?, kppp is the same. > ps: it almost sounds like you were expecting mdk to fail - so why bother - at least, >if this > was the case, you haven't been disappointed in your expectations. > I'll be surprised when it works out of the box, it never has for me i'll soon see if 8.1 works.
