Ok, sounds like you are half way there. Do you know how to use Yast2? It's pretty easy, if you just follow the instructions. You really need to get a handle on that. There is no modem dialer in yast2, only the setup. If you set the modem up correctly in yast2, then you'll get an icon in your systray that will automatically dial up the number you insert for your ISP in yast2 modem setup. I don't know if there are some instructions with images somewhere to help you do this, but it sounds like you need it. Guys help him out here, anything in wiki or the SuSE help? I found something in SuSE help files for using the kppp wizard to help with images. That might help, but you still need to do your modem setup in yast2 Jim. That's a must and you're going to have to do a bit of leg work yourself, unless you can get someone to log into your machine to do it for you.
