What are you seeing in /var/log/messages ?
(use "tail -f /var/log/messages" before you initiate the connection.)
This will tell you about the interaction with the isp.
If you are sure it's a modem problem and not a setup problem you can read
the modem-HOWTO (in /usr/share/doc/HOWTO) for a primer on troubleshooting
your modem. There is a section (18.5) listing web sites with modem info.
<http://www.teleport.com/~curt/modems.html> was particularly educational
for me.
I'm sorry this became a sort of polite version of "RTFM" but I can't
really help without more specific info about the problem. I hope that
I've been somewhat helpfull.
