First, use the pppd command to check if it is installed.If you have some strange characters, it means it is installed. Then use system tools/network wizard/modem and give all information. Then use the command ifup ppp<n>,<n>=0,1,depending on your modem connection.If problem, check /var/log with cat /var/log/messages|grep pppd for example.
