Such modems should often be (/are) detected automatically by the Linux
kernel, either at startup or at installation time. If your modem does not
appear to comminicate with the PC, I suggest you first ensure that you are
not connected via a router (i.e. simplify matters). Then, Go to YaST (an-
other route is Control Center -> Hardware) and find out if a modem/DSL de-
vice was detected. If not, attempt to install one and select a match (if
existent) from the list. The SuSE CD's should contain plenty of drivers,
which might suit your hardware.
Failing that, you might have to run a few quick tests to see if your sys-
tem can detect the modem and what gets returned when it probes the device.
I will leave that aside for now as I believe it can be sorted out through
the user-friendly graphical user interfaces. Also remember that
system/hardware setup is a one-time peril, if not all works perfectly 'out
of the box'.
Best wishes,
Roy
