Thanks for the help offer. I'm on 5.3 as I'm waiting for 6.1 to come out
before upgrading again.
I found the library on the suse ftp site as part of the applixware package.
This is now on my machine and allowed the rpm to work. I booted, ran
wvdialconf and it couldn't find the modem.
I then removed diald from yast (in the ppp network setup screen) re-booted
and managed to run wvdialconf.
I'm now at the state where I can run wvdial and it calls my provider fine -
provided I have not started x-windows/kde. Once I start kde wvdial fails
with the message "modem not responding".
I've tried running wvdial then startx. With this configuration the pppd
seems to keep running but I'm not getting
any response on pinging the nameserver.
