Run minicom. Minicom is an AT-program wich allows you to communicate directly with your modem via AT-commands.
First:
minicom -s (this sets minicom up)
Then:
minicom
Now you can issue commands to your modem. Type 'AT' (capitals), it should reply 'OK' if everything is OK. If not, i refer you to the 'PPP-HOWTO' ( /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOS/PPP-HOWTO )
If it replies OK you should also try typing 'ATDT[your-isp's-number]' and check if the modem dials. Then you at least know the modem works...
If haven't tried 'pppsetup' that comes with slack, try it, works like a charm...
