Hi,

I use a very similar device to yours. Here is how I got kppp to use the modem.

First, to configure the modem…

Yast > Network Devices > Modem

Under ‘Modem Configuration Overview’ click ‘Add’

Next, in the top most text area, enter /dev/ttyUSB0, you can leave the other settings on that page, as is, generally.

Now, click on ‘Next’ and enter/add your ISP details. Unless otherwise, enter the phone number like 991#**

Having done that, go to the next page and ensure the following settings are checked.

  • Modify DNS When Connected
  • Automatically Retrieve DNS
  • Automatically Reconnect
  • Ignore Prompts

Once finished, your device will show up as modem0. Kppp will now use this to connect.

Hope this helps :slight_smile:
