if you're ok with command-line apps, why don't you try out wvdial? it's simple yet working. I've used it almost always, because none of the others I've tried works.

so if you want to try, obtain wvdial and after installing it, do a

wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

(I might not remember it correctly..if it's not wvdialconf, then it's wvdialconfig or something..you'll see). after doing this, open the /etc/wvdial.conf file with a text-editor and fill in the phone number and username etc. that's asked there and save it. then just run it like "wvdial &" (without quotes, as root I think unless you make it runnable by user/group) and wvdial should call to your isp and do things nicely and go to background :)
