In that case I'd try using the one of the website you found verbatim.  Simply
copy it over /etc/XF86Config (which is SuSe's X config file).  Keep a copy of
the original too.

Ok, just checking.  Is "cardmgr" running? ps ax | grep cardmgr.  Does the system
beep when you put the card in or take it out?  Since it is see-ing a eth0 have
you tried configuring the ethernet interface?  If the system has a serial port
(/dev/ttyS0) I'd see if /dev/ttyS1 works after you put the card in,  that is
just a guess, I have no idea how PCMCIA modems show up.
