Hi John,
try opening a terminal type in sudo pppconfig and enter your password
when prompted.
You should now be able to fill in details, leave the "Provider" section
as is. It may not be able to find which port your modem is connected to,
so enter it manually. Serial external modems are usually workable, but
if you have a "winmodem" you may have problems, also some usb modems are
software driven and will also give you headaches.
when it's all filled in connect by opening a terminal and type pon
Disconnect by typing poff
Hope this helps
Take Care
Winton
