Use YaST and select 'Software Management' from the right panel and install a program called wvdial. The wvdial program will need to be setup and there are at least two soft modem drivers on the Suse dvd and one will probably work with your laptop. Open terminal as root and run 'lspci' and it will give the modem and numbers
