Type it's name in a console.
Those "* for dummies" books dont really help. I've read one long time ago and didnt learn a thing from it. I mean that everything was obvious and you can learn it by yourself. They teach you how take a mouse, move cursor over an icon, then use your finger to press left mouse button. I would sugges you to get more proffesional books like "SUSE 10 Unleashed" and "SUSE Linux Bible". After reading them you will feel in Linux as at homeIm a windows power user, and i have read suse for dummies

Easier still, use the Find option in your Gnome menu to search for the file, then see if you can double-click it to run it from the results window.
Make a note of where you found it, and add a menu item and/or panel button to make it easier to dial up.Stand up and be counted as a Linux user!

I'm using KDE, so I can't swear exactly how Gnome does it.
Try right clicking the Gnome start button. there should
be an option to edit the menus. Choose to add a new
item. It will give you a dialog. The critical field will be
"command". I'm betting your command is /usr/bin/antidialer
