Subsystem PCI_id 103c:0850
Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics:

At http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-suse-x86.php?PHPSESSID=f70ad59a0ec21d76e736a92e5ff90416
download hsfmodem-7.68.00.04full_k2.6.22.13_0.3_default-1suse.i586.rpm.zip
Under SuSE:
$ unzip hsf*.zip
$ su root
# rpm -i hsf*.rpm
will run the install.
Afterward the modem should be found by
# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
If successful, edit in your personal info with:
# gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
removing the ; and < > symbols
Then try a dial out with
# wvdial
Report back at this point.
