Books for you

If you have call waiting or some
other service that changes your dial tone, you may want to uncheck the Detect Dial Tone
box so that the modem always dials. Check the Details button only if you need to change
the default initialization string. When you??™re finished, click Next to set up your ISP. YaST
pulls up a list of Providers in several countries from which you can select. In Figure 12.2,
we??™ve selected Earthlink as our provider. Notice that the screen displays the provider??™s
website and support line. If your provider is not listed, click New to add it. Click Next to
identify the phone number and other access settings.
Figure 12.3 shows the ISP configuration screen. You should know at least one local access
number for your ISP. Enter it here, along with your username and password. If you want
to enter your ISP password each time you dial up, check the Always Ask for Password box.
Click Next to configure your connection.
