modem

[Hartmut Haase]

I'm not sure if this is the right address, but you can certainly forward it to 
the right person(s):
I'm using an analog modem, and as it is not easy to select the appropriate 
cal-by-call provider, I tried to use web.de's SmartSurfer which works fine 
with windows. But wine gives me only the choice to select some 'WINE 
virtmodem' which is certainly not the right one. Yast tells me that my modem 
is device ppp0. What can I do?

Wine doesn't provide RAS services so you must set up your modem using the
native Linux tools (provided by your distribution normally). I don't think
you'll be able to get any dialer software to work correctly with Wine,
sorry.
