Kendall's correct... your device should be ppp0. But, if my memory isn't
failing me, using a GUI dialer such as kppp (if it's still around) may not
have created the device "ppp0" for you.
I would use something like linuxconf to check the PPP/SLIP/PLIP options in
networking for the device ppp0, and if it's not there already, create it.
It's been a long time since I configured a modem under linux, so things may
have changed, but I remember the GUI dialers doing something different from
any manual configuration I made. After a while, I simply gave up on the GUIs
and used if-up/if-down for my dial-ups. I've been on cable for too long to
remember the specifics, though.
