Suse Linux and modem
 

Hi,

i recently bought the linux distribution Suse Linux 9.1 but i have some problems with the internet connection. I have an external modem and the manufacturer provides information about linux installation.
My modem is being identified by the system and when i write some ati commands in a ternimal i get the right response. But...
When i try to connect to the internet, the system initializes the modem, dials the number and then nothing. I'm using Kinternet and the message i get is

...
pppd[0]:Sending ATM0
pppd[0]:ATM0
pppd[0]:ERROR
pppd[0]:--> Bad init string
pppd[0]:--> stdin not read/write and $MODEM not set
pppd[0]:Connect script failed
pppd[0]:Status is:disconnected
died:Connect script failed (exit code 8)
terminating

I know that the ATM0 has to do with th speaker of the modem. My modem has no speaker, how am i able to stop the system from executing this init string? Is there a file i should edit?
Any ideas about what is happening?

Thanks a lot!

I'm sure kInternet has a settings tab that lets you look at the modem commands if youd just click around for a bit first.
