Hmm.. I thought this was going to be Red Hat 7.0 and not SuSE :)

As yet I don't have any info about anything to do with the 7.0
releases.  Even the Red Hat people have been pretty much uninformed
about bugs in new software in the past.  Glad I've got my Debian 2.2
CDs :)  They seem to be ok.

Have you got the OSS opso.rpm on the CDs ?  It's usually easier to
configure.  If it's the modem then it's WVDial.  That's always been a
problem even in other distributions.  Best to look round for an
update.  I had to do that with SuSE 6.4 and my notebook.

Nothing worse than the feeling of sitting in a room with yourself.

Ruediger says that he will answer questions about SuSE 7.0 on the 7th
of October.  Best to be there and ask questions ?
