Speedstream 3060 PCI modem under SuSE 9.2 with PPoA - How?


So I installed SuSE 9.2 few days ago. Looks great, but I cannot establish Internet connexion. After surfing the Internet under old good WinXP I did not manage to find any specific solution, although the supply of various HOWTOs is abundant. However:

1. Most of solutions are for PPPoE, not PPPoA
2. Those for PPPoA are for 2.4 kernel, not 2.6 which SuSE 9.2 apparently has
3. All those solutions look like for real experts (sort of Linux top dogs)

Saying that I just want to explain one point: I've just installed Linux and happy to learn few things about it. But to do it I need Internet, but it looks like I need to learn a lot to make it work... So it's a sort of vicious circle...

Anyway, can you help me with establishing internet connexion?

Well, it looks like no one have any knowledge about it.... I am still have to reboot in WinXP to use Internet. Therefore I cannot configure anything else as it requires to consult Internet to do it properly and to reboot my PC ay time I need it is such a drag.

This is the log:

SuSE Meta pppd (smpppd-ifcfg), Version 1.50 on linux.
Status is: disconnected
trying to connect to smpppd
connect to smpppd
Status is: disconnected
Status is: connecting
pppd[0]: Plugin pppoatm.so loaded.
pppd[0]: Plugin passwordfd.so loaded.
Status is: disconnected
pppd[0] died: pppd options error (exit code 2)

What is "pppd options error"? Could it be the problem?
