Thanks Ndungi. Actually I installed the latest version of OpenSUSE
and was shocked when it didn’t work though I know the modem works on MacOS

Hi Alex,
The plug-play modem software doesnt always work on Linux, but I'll tell you
something that always works on linux : ppp or gnome-ppp or kppp (all birds of
the feather). On most systems the modem dialer (ppp and its brethren) works
seamlessly through NetworkManager applets.
Click on the NetworkManager applet at the bottom -right corner and select the
option to connect to "GSM broadband blah blah" or something to that
effect --> an hour glass for a few seconds and then annotification "you
are now connected to blah blah blah".
If this doesnt work, I'd suggest you try a more recent version of OpenSuse or
Ubuntu as Imelda hinted.
