With a bit of lack, installing your modem is simply connecting it to the comuter through a serial port.
Before trying to access your ISP, it is a good idea to activate the modem using minicom.
You might want to take a look at the Serial-HOWTO and the PPP-HOWTO.
I suggest you come back to the list if you will have more questions.
