I just did this so maybe I can help.  Use Linuxconf (you instaled it,
right?) as Jan Carlson suggests and then I used minicom (?) just as the
howto (ISP-hppkup?) suggested to test the connection.  Minicom allows you
to make sure your modem is connected and compatible.  Unfortunately, if
you're having trouble this may well be it; many modems sold today are not
compatible with Linux.

Email me if you have more questions as you get it going.
