    Make sure that you have /sbin/ifup and /sbin/ifdown scripts available
    (exec. permission and all.). Then in the Modem Light configuration do:
    /sbin/ifup "Network device name or alias" and /sbin/ifdown "Network
    device name or alias". In my case it is /sbin/ifup Dialup_ISP and
    /sbin/ifup Dialup_ISP. "Dialup_ISP" is a nickname that I have selected
    for the modem network connection in the "Redhat-network-configuration" tool.

    This should enable the start an stop of your modem network.

    My lock file was LOCK..ttyS0. This enable the connection light and timer.

    And finally make sure that you device is "ppp0". This gives you the
    traffic lights and graph.

    Hope this made any sense.

    Good luck.
