need help with dial-up connection in SuSE 10

I cannot establish an internet connection. I have a US Robotics external modem. It is fully supported by linux. The model is USR5630B. It's a serial modem. There are two serial numbers written on the modem: UFN73160I3TH, 995630-00.
Also, the modem used to work with SuSE versions prior to 9.3.

The kinternet log is the following:

SuSE Meta pppd (smpppd-ifcfg), Version 1.59 on linux.

PS: I have two operating systems installed and I have already tested my internet connection with Windows XP and it works fine.

So far i know the thing with login in windows and linux is different. Of cos it is. But i remeber that with AOL as provider you could'nt use it with Linux. So it was (still is ?) in germany. Maybe you provider doesn't support the wvdial in procedure etc.

The message with the login prompt is suspicous for me.

This is how it looked with my USR/3Com under Fedora 3.
The YYYYYYYYYYYY are of course placeholders not the real entry.
