connecting). Regardless whether you choose an ISP from the list or add a custom
provider, you need to enter at least your login and password.

4.1.2 Checklist ISDN
In case your internal ISDN card is not detected automatically you will need to know
the vendor and the name of the device.
NOTE: ISDN Modem or Terminal Adapter
If you are using an external ISDN modem or terminal adapter, refer to Section 4.1.3,
“Checklist Modem” (page 52) instead.
In order to congure the ISDN device you will need the following data:
• ISDN Protocol (depends on your country)
• Area code and phone number.
• Interface type (SyncPPP or RawIP). If unsure, select SyncPPP, because RawIP is
only used in connection with certain telephone systems.
• Local and remote IP addresses for the dial-in server and the gateway, in the
case that you were given a static IP address from your provider.
• The ISDN conguration module already contains the data for major ISPs in some
countries. If your ISP is not listed, you will need to know how name resolving
(DNS) and IP allocation is handled (in most cases this data is received automat-
ically when connecting). Regardless whether you chose an ISP from the list or
added a custom provider, you need to enter at least your login and password.
For conguration details, refer to Section “ISDN” (Chapter 21, Basic Networking,
↑Reference).

internal modems are supported by openSUSE®.
