Yes they are there and are part of what's behind the gnome networking widgets. The dialup issue is not as simple as not knowing the commands to invoke dialup. I believe this specific question related to an external modem because there was a mention of /dev/ttyS0. Perhaps it's because I've always run a modem here to connect but I find these fairly easy. Connect it, power it up, start System -> Networking -> ppp0 properties. Click the modem tab and the autodetect button and most times it will find the device.
There are issues as well with soft modems. I'm run one of these that came with a specific bus on the mobo but I had to go off and find the software that identifies the soft modem chips set, compile the modem driver for my system, and then modprobe the stuff into the kernel in the correct order.
