They live in Wellington (the Herefordshire one), and before I went to New 
Zealand I set them up with a SuSE 8.0 system.
That ran fine, until they decided to deinstall the mouse before installing a 
new one. After trying to fix that at long distance, things went downhill.
So a few days ago they got a copy of SuSE 9.1 personal, and we've been 
installing that.

However, we now can't get the internet connection to work. It's dial-up with 
Onetel, and I can't debug it from here because it uses CLID and will only 
respond to calls from their number...
So first question - does anyone you know use Onetel, and if so, what is the 
ppp login prompt and required response?

The Onetel website is not, of course, linux-friendly, but looking at the 
windows setups, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual. 

I tried to get them to use minicom to debug it, but 9.1 personal doesn't come 
with a copy of minicom! And they can't download because....

Final question - could anyone pop round and do them a favour by setting it up?
I'm sure they would be willing to show their gratitude.

cheers

anthony
