Unhappy Can't set up ISP info on SuSE Linux 8.2


I've switched from MSN to a more affordable Compuserve. However, I'm not configuring kinternet correctly because it refuses my name and password.

When I had initially set up SuSE Linux, a screen appeared with a big list of ISPs. It's not YaST because I've gone into YaST since to reconfigure kinternet (KDE GUI). Which program will get me back to that screen, or is there a better way to configure access?

Thanks much!

You could try wvdial.Wvdial is the back end for Kinternet.
In a terminal(su) run vi wvdial.conf .This is mine.
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/modem
Baud = 57600
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2
Init3 =
Area Code =
Phone =
Username =
Password =
Ask Password = 0
Dial Command = ATDT
Stupid Mode = 1
Compuserve = 0
Force Address =
Idle Seconds = 300
DialMessage1 =
DialMessage2 =
ISDN = 0
Auto DNS = 1
Just set it up with your relevant info.
To run it just input wvdial in a terminal(you will have to root).
When I used Kinternet I found my ISP was not on the list,so I just selected the option of entering my own ISP's name.It's the rest of the information that is important.
