My wireless network is down.
I have been using my modem to connect to the Internet via Windows.
I would like to setup for using my internal modem for a dial in network using OpenSuse.
Hardware info does not show my modem.

One thing I learned soon after starting with Linux more than a decade
ago is that you have to buy hardware with Linux in mind. Ie, investigate
first if something you intend to buy will work with Linux. And often
this hardware that works is more expensive, because it is easier if it
handles things internally instead of depending on a specific driver and
host cpu, like winmodems.
My first “high speed” modem I had to sell half price to a friend. It
would not work in Linux. It was perfect for him, in Windows.
You might find easier to do the same with your modem… But I wish you
luck making it work.

It’s going to be hard justifying a $60 + modem.
Brand new USB modems can be had for around $25.

I know.
Sorry, I can not help you in this, I’m not current in modem technology.
I only wanted to told you that I went your road, back in 1998, and I
lost. I really wish you luck.

Ask first, or google for that model and Linux, before committing money.
