SBC Yahoo DSL

[Matthew Carpenter]

All you have to do iw go to their web site and apply for the username and password...  Problems is that their site does not support anything but IE very well.  It was nearly a nightmare.  I ended up on the phone with tech support before it was done.

I was able to get it to work.  The problem was partly that I didn't have a username and password, and partly because SuSE comments out some lines with break the connect script.  I've contacted SuSE about it so it should be fixed in the future.  They commented out every line in a "if-then" clause, causing it to error out.  

Other than that it's been great!
Thanks to Llama and Michael for your help :)
