I do not know what that program does, but I know that some telephone
companies upload the modem with their own values. To figure out what they
are, I suggest you make sure you can ping your modem, then telnet to it.
Search through the options until you find something like:
pc1
pc2
pc3
pc4
At least, that is what our Dutch company did. Originally it used to be:
RELAY_PPP1 - RELAY_PPP4
so see if you can find something similar.
I do not know for sure and I do not have a DSL modem, but I set up one.
I downloaded pptp and patched it so pptp looks for the pc1 channel.
You have to change 'pc1' in the patch with the value of you modem.
You can find it all here:

It is Dutch, but I am sure you can follow the red line.
