I've encountered the same problem as you have, and my solutions (based on others' solutions) are: 1. I use wvdial as my dialer -- it detects my modem, and it knows that it's a softmodem. 2.

I configured my dialer (wvdial in my case) to NOT wait for a CARRIER when dialing into a server -- it might be different with kppp, and I haven't made kppp work with my internal modem either. > http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/IBM_Integrated_56K_Modem_(MDC-2) gave > me hope :-) The smartlink doc was actually what I followed.
