Go to the commandline, (as root I *think*), and type 'alsaconf'. If it
doesn't work, it's probably not installed....

You can use YaST to configure wvdial. But, your link shouldn't be idle
while you're downloading; so it shouldn't disconnect. Under what

it happen browsing the web, etc.? Does the link only ever stay up for
three minutes?
