newbie - internet dialup setup problems

[Harvey Ussery]

Tell us more about your system. Apple (like M$) seems to be going more 
toward "softmodems" (modems driven more by software in your machine, 
rather than actual physical hardware) these days; and in most cases, 
Linux does not have the capability to utilize these pseudo-modems.

PS: Your config problems sound exactly like mine; & it turned out that 
the modem in my iMac is a software modem.
