Here's how to create it

I don't have a GPRS enabled phone. My 3230 isn't working. And hutch gprs is too costly(I have no source of money except my pocket money most of which goes in my bike's fuel).
At the most I can help is if you give out what error messages you're getting, someone can go ahead and help there.
But, did the last command work for you?

3. As in this image we can't go next without filling a username but airtel doesnt require any username to connect to the internet. How can i bypass this??

4. Filled the first server and second server value looking at the settings in the mobile phone. Is it correct??

Searched some other forums and read that Kinternet is a tool that is used to Dial and also is GUI.
Then i installed that from the DVD, but when i dialed it asked for the Pasword but airtel Mobile Office has no username and password.

apt-get won't work on suse, it's something that's in debian and debian based distro. Apt is the debian package manager. About vwdial, I will have to install some distro in VM and check. Will answer this later.

Try using your phone no. for both.
Pathiks you try that too, So, you'll can even use YAST. And if you'll get connected, then plz make a tut so I can sticky it.
