Hello,

I use SUSE 10.0 on an old IBM Thinkpad 600.  This laptop has an ACP "Mwave" winmodem.  The modem functions (after considerable hacking) if I install the "mwavem" package that SUSE has provided for years.  However, this package is only available from the online repositories, not on the CDs.  This creates a rather difficult situation for users (like myself) who only have dialup internet access.  Their modem will not function because they can't connect to the internet to download the package that is needed to connect to the internet.  The simple fix would be to fit in this tiny package on one of the 5 SUSE CDs.

Thanks!
