You need a slightly larger CD image. The netinst image contains only
software that you would download anyway during the install, and it also
contains a copy of ppp. You'll be able to install the base system
without going online, then after it reboots into debian, you can install
ppp from the CD, configure it, and pull down whatever else you need over
the modem.

Alternatively, if you want a simpler desktop install, the full CD is a
good choice, since it contains little aside from what you'll need for a
desktop install. Again you can install ppp after the install to pull
down any additional software you need.
