What kind of modem are you using? I have set up quite a few machines using
external modems with serial connections and never had a bit of trouble with 1
exception and that was on a notebook from hell. I guess that on a number of
things I am not to good at troubleshooting problems in linux but external
serial modem and KPPP have always been a 100% success requiring very little
effort on my part. If you are using a internal modem that could complicate
things a bit.
