Welcome to openSUSE 10.3 (i586) - Kernel kernel 2.6.22.5-31-default
With this Subject Line cogent experts will be alerted, and useful case
names left in the Archive.
YourCountry will enable Country specific guidance. Your contry's local
Linux experts
can be found through: http://www.linux.org/groups/index.html.
They will know your Country's modem code, which may be essential for dialup
service.

For owners of a Dell PCs with Conexant HSF modems, a driver source package
with full speed enabled is available, but requires driver compiling. Read

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.2.1
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.2.1
linux-headers-2.6.22.5-31-default resources needed for compiling are not
manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
kernel-source-2.6.22.5-31-default
If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some
FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The
minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev
If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed package
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to
display the needed package list:
Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Checking pppd properties:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root dialout 298784 2007-09-22 03:11 /usr/sbin/pppd
In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
