I have never had any particular problems with modems on Linux, but it
doesn't always set /dev/modem.  Sometimes, you have to figure out which
tty it gets assigned to.  Do "ls -l /dev/ttyS*" to figure out which one it
gets.

Then, you have to use a PPP client (I assume that that's what you're
using).  See

ideas how to do this.
