    You won't get this far UNLESS your modems have already negotiated their
    speed and (as far as the modem is concerned) connected.

    This is the address of your ISP. Both of these come from your ISP AFTER
    authentication, i.e. your username and password were accepted.

    These also come from them. pppd should modify the /etc/resolv.conf file
    with this new info (and it stores the original in /etc/ppp) Does your
    resolv contain this info?

    The script that did the above.

    This looks good, it has modified your default route, or gateway. What
    does route -n give you?

    Maybe resolv is not getting modified. Why, maybe permissions on the
    /etc/resolv file? Mine is
    joe@jmorris:~> ls -l /etc/resolv.conf
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 992 2003-09-29 09:24 /etc/resolv.conf

    >***Also, the primary and secondary DNS addresses are not changing at all. They are the same each time I try to connect. Usually, I get new DNS addresses each time I connect. I have checked in yast/modem, and wvdial.conf and all are set to auto.

    I don't believe this, but even if it does change this is a function of
    your ISP. They tell you what machines they run DNS on. I have seen
    dialup servers change smtp servers often, but NOT DNS as these are
    registered with all their domain names they may host, etc. For your
    purposes, assuming their DNS servers are not all down (highly unlikely,
    that's why their is 2), this isn't your problem.

    I think you are getting tired. Maybe forget about this for a day, do
    something different, then come back refreshed, and maybe you will have
    better results. I've been there before, you can work sometimes too long
    and forget what all has been tried, where did this start, etc. HTH.
    BTW, Bruce is correct, this is not your modem but a networking problem.
