‘Stupid Mode’ This option is enabled by default. It has the effect that in-

put prompts sent by the ISP’s server are ignored to prevent it from

interfering with the connection process.

‘Activate Firewall’ Selecting this option enables the SUSE ﬁrewall, which

protects you from outside attacks for the time of your Internet con-

nection.

‘Idle Time-out (seconds)’ With this option, specify a period of network

inactivity after which the modem disconnects automatically.

IP Details This opens the address conﬁguration dialog. If your ISP does

not assign a dynamic IP address to your host, disable ‘Dynamic IP

Address’ then enter your host’s local IP address and the remote IP

address. Ask your ISP for this information. Leave ‘Default Route’ en-

abled and close the dialog by selecting ‘OK’.

Selecting ‘Next’ returns to the original dialog, which displays a summary of

the modem conﬁguration. Close this dialog with ‘Finish’.
