Please note that in the Modem installation instruction they mention something I don't really understand ..

3.* INSTALLATION

Prerequisites:
* 1. root access
* 2. bash shell to run install scripts
* 3. an Intel536ep modem
* 4. KERNEL SOURCE HEADERS FOR THE KERNEL YOU ARE RUNNING.
* * * (found on your distribution's CD)

and the Installation Steps as followed :

6 steps to install
* 1. login as ROOT
* 2. extract the archive into a directory with "tar -zxvf <archivename>.tgz"
* 3. cd into the directory it created.
* 4. Type: make clean
* 5. Type: make 536
* 6. Type: make install
This will create a /dev/modem device file. This file is used as an interface to
modem by all applications: minicom, kpppd, efax, etc. Please configure the applications
to use /dev/modem if neccessary.

My Current Kernel is || Current running kernel is: 2.6.4-52-default ||

Please Guide

Install the kernel source that matches your kernel version from the SuSE FTP site. Search the board for one of the posts relating to compiling software when using Personal Edition. There is a pinned topic in General Questions that will help you use Google for an easier search.
