Walter, are you trying to setup mail or an internet connection? If you are 
trying to setup internet, then we need more info such as:
Is this a dial up or dsl account or what?
What kind of modem are you using if dialup?
If you have dsl, what provider is it?
What you have above doesn't help much but aborting a process certainly disn't 
"get you anywhere" If you will post some more specific info, I will try to 
help you. As has already been stated, SuSE is usually very easy to get 
started with net connections...///P
