Hey,
Which modem you are using
Dial Up
ISDN
WIRELESS
External Links

Check your modem with Hardwarre compatibility list of Suse see below link-->
Category:Hardware Compatibility List - openSUSE
Did you tried installing your modem using Yast?. If no success post the output of command
#lspci

i've checked the list u gave and i didn't found my modem in. u know i'm new to linux ,mmaybe i'm making a mistake in installing.
i used yast but it was the same ,no detection. it doesn't have any output it just simply doesn't find anything.
by the way my modem is dial-up conexant.

thank u.

well...
thats really wierd. i installed linux 10.2 on my laptop too. but it didn't detect my modem again. i don't know what the hell is wrong with this detection system. please someone help me i realy need to find out how to install these modems.
by the way my laptop's modem is 'motorolla sm56 speakerphone modem' installed on 'com3'.

This sounds somewhat familiar ...

As silly as this may sound, laptop or desktop, does your mother board already have a modem installed on it?

If yes, disconnect the modem you're now trying to use and see what happens when you engage Yast.

Hope this helps.

OK, this may not help, but you have a software modem. Software modems are notorious for not working with Linux.
Some software modems do work but are usually difficult to configure.
You may need to get a hardware modem. This may work with your laptop - Zonet 56K V.92 PCMCIA Hardware Modem ZFM5600-CF
