SuSE Linux: Version 8.0
You want to set up Internet access via ISDN and need instructions.
Start the YaST Control Center. Select Network/Basic -> ISDN Configuration. A window pops up in which the card (in the upper half) and the provider (in the lower half) can be configured.
The ISDN card has to be configured first. In our example, AVM Fritz V.2.
Start Mode : OnBoot (should be always selected, except for PCMCIA, in this case, select HotPlug) Driver : HiSax Fritz V2 (do not select CAPI drivers, because you have to get them from the manufacturer first) Protocol : Euro-ISDN Areacode : +49 421 (+49 for Germany, 421 prefix for Bremen) Dialprefix : 0 (only if required)
Confirm the entries with OK and the start screen is displayed again. In the lower half, select Add or New for the provider
Countries : Deutschland Provider: Arcor
Click Next to proceed.
ISDN type : SyncPPP Name for dialing : arcor Connection name : Arcor Phone number : 0192070 User name : arcor Request for password : In our case this item has not to be activated, because this option works only on the console and manually. Password :***** (arcor)Confirm with Next and the next mask is displayed.
My phone number : 12345 (without any prefix) Dial mode : Automatic IDLE timeout : 300 ChargeHUP : not activated (charge info transmitted by the provider) Firewall : activate only if required Channel bundling : not activated
Now click IP settings.
Dynamic IP address : activated (hook) Default route : activated (activate it during the first configuration only) Use peer DNS : activated (only if required)
Click OK then three times on Finish to confirm and update the configuration with SuSEconfig.
Note: With some providers, it might be necessary to add the name server afterwards!
