    THANKS SO VERY VERY MUCH TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!

    Your help and dedication in following this thread, and its variants, since the
    beginning of August, is so GREATLY appreciated!!!

    I now know considerably more about my system than I ever could have without
    such a peevish problem. In a way I'm glad I didn't 'go around the bend'
    earlier. I certainly wouldn't have learned as much. Yet, going around the
    bend is exactly what solved the problem. Unfortunately, we'll never know
    what the 'real' cause of the problem was.

    As you could tell with my last few e-mails, I just lost it. I hate working in
    windoze with such a passion, that 2 days without my SuSE was extremely toooo
    much.

    I formatted and repartitioned the entire drive(which was a good thing to do
    anyway, because I was in need of changing partition sizes). I then
    reinstalled fresh from cd's(apparently you too, Basil!), and tried my modem.
    Oh gad!!! I was still having dns problems. I then took a look at the
    preprogrammed init string my modem was using. Wow, how screwy! It was
    preprogrammed to use something extremely foreign. I then tried a very simple
    init I had tried before, init1: ATZ, init2: AT&F1. That got me back to the
    point where I could properly connect.

    On my first test I was expecting to be dropped at the usual max time of 59.4
    minutes. As I reached 60 minutes, I started celebrating. As my connection
    time continued, I started downloading KDE updates. I was able to stay
    connected for 5 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just like I had been in 'that
    other os'.

    Ran another test and kept downloading. Again, 5 whole hours, before my ISP
    dropped me!!!!!!!!!!!! (I'll deal with them later, he says with an evil
    grin!) 5 hours!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!

    Well, now you know what I've been doing ALL this week!! I've been making use
    of my new found connection time. It has taken me a while to set up all that
    I wanted of the kde updates, so kmail was out until this evening. I surely
    wasn't going to go through windoze to e-mail you guys back. 941 e-mails
    later, I'm finally able to respond.

    **************************************************

    YOU GUYS ARE SUPER!!!

    NOWHERE ELSE ON EARTH COULD I FIND TECH SUPPORT THIS GOOD,
    AND SOOOO DEDICATED AT HELPING OUT, AT ANY PRICE!!!

    THANK YOU ALL!!!

    **************************************************

    Yours so very sincerely,

    Bernd
