Hi guys... surry for the trouble im gonna give.
anyways i tried out november's openSUSE 10.3 which was bundled...
i could install it easily, though a few(2~3 mb total) components gave an error and had to skip them.
Then while configuring hardware, i was surprised it detected my modem..
It is Smartlink SL2800. It was recognised as Smartlink Linmodem. I went on with default settings.
now the thing is that there is no Dial Up Program .. WTH.. i searched for Kinternet and could not find it at all!! I use KDE. dont know if Gnome and XFCE have there own dialers.
then i thought my modem was configured wrong. Fired up YaST and checked. WTH!!! It says Not configured. And then its writen press configure to set up ur modem... hell there is no configure button at all !!!
what is this? I have Linux Drivers of my modem. But dont have a clue how to install them. They are in ".gz" format. Dont know which distro was it made for.
can you guys help me sort it out? also is there a dial up program that i can use? If it is not there then can i download it in another computer and install it on my Linux??
Plx help, without internet linux is not really useful to me.
