Yup. How is your dialer proggy set up.
Kppp - you really need to fill all the gaps.
Ensure your modem is properly addressed by the opsys.
Remember that Com4 is /dev/ttyS3, That you are better off _NOT_
to use /dev/modem. Make sure that you have the correct handshaking -
hardware not software eg crtscts.

Have you made sure you have the ISP's correct IP numbers in
/etc/resolv.conf?
Should read something like this:
domain myisp.com
nameserver 123.456.789.000
nameserver 123.567.890.123
Have you entered all of the Identity info under edit-->preferences.
