as a quick and easy setup use wvdial.

do: 

wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

as root, it will then look for a modem if it finds one then it will
create the file /etc/wvdial.conf.  Then edit this file with your
favourite flavour of text editor.  replace the settings <Target Phone
Number>, <Your Login Name> <Your Password> with approp vals and remove
leading ';' from these lines.

then run wvdial as root, you will get a run down of what is happening as
the machine attempts to establish a connection.  You should at least be
able to detect if the problem is with the modem or with your ISP.

good luck
