I had the same problem when I first tried to connect my Linux box to my ISP.
You might look at my homepage (which hasn't been updated in a while), but
two of the links tell you how to connect to your ISP using a Perl script.
Just copy and paste the script to your system, change the ISP data, make the
new file (let's call it ispup) executeable with the following command -
chmod +x ispup.

You need to make sure that your modem is configured correctly.  There is
also a link there that will tell you how to check and see if you've done
that correctly.

Anyway, this is just some helpful hints.  I really don't like using minicom
or seyon to get online, but I still use the Perl script to get online every
night.  Haven't seen any reason to change.  It works, so I leave it alone.
Hope this helps.

Blaine
