Hi all,
I have a Suse 9.3 in a dual boot computer with win xp. The installation has been successful. Only a quirk. Each time i log the Internet, the connection lasts 10 - 20 minutes and close and in Windows all works fine.
You know in my place ADSL hasn't been made avalaible unlike expensive sat dsl. And I log my ISP without set myself DNS WINS and other filters. In case it can be helpful my isp is Tele 2.
I'm actually using kinternet, but the problem lasts. This is the kinternet log:

I hope you understand better than me the problem.
My modem is a Creative Modem Blaster V92 serial 56k.
Thanks in advance,

it says that it terminated the connection duo to inactivity if you go to YaST2 again and edit the modem configuration at the last page it should have a certain option that terminates the connection after X minux of inactivity. Check that and make sure it's 0
That means stay connected forever.

Hope that's it

I've tried your hint. Actually the connection doesn't stay regardless the "O" minutes of inactivity I set. Other suggestions?

Thanks anyway,
