First, there are some dialers available for opensuse 11.1.

- wvdial it's a command line but very simple to use and setup utility
- kppp is a GUI for pppd available for kde4 (IIRC)
- kinternet is a GUI for pppd available for kde3

You can find those applications by searching for "dial" in yast :-).

How to configure them? Well, kppp and kinternet are both self-explanatory
(they are graphical tools) and wvdial has it's manual page (man wvdial).
