[LBo] Problem with dial-up internet with SUSE 10.2

[Howard Rosen]

Robert,

I'll try to help you, but my memory is limited.  I am running Opensuse
10.1 and go online via a 56K modem.  My setup is via "Network Manager
Applet 6.02."  It sits on the bottom panel and I click on it to see
"Dial Up Connections" and then a choice of "Connect or Disconnect etc
(my ISP info)"

Now, the question is how did I get that setup?  I don't recall and my
notes are not fully recorded.  I also see in my notebook "Kinternet -
Set up Network card"  I also read "Configure IDN" and "Configure Modem"
when I click on the Network icon.

Somehow I think that getting to Network Manager Applet6.02 is the
answer.  Try googling some of the above.

Hope that some of this lets you get to dialing your modem.

Howard
