You should be able to. Did you invoke pon ? did you press the button of 
your modem ? (yes some forget to push the button) can you see the light 
on it ? is it a serial modem ? which brand/model ?
Do you belong to the dialout group ?

Joyce, 
No, I didn't invoke pon.  How do I do that?  The modem light is on.   It's a serial modem, but the pppconfig didn't detect it and went to manual.   At the manual setting, it had ttyS1 already listed, and I went with that.  Maybe it's on ttyS0?   It's a US Robotics and works just great on any other Linux OS I've used with it.  
    Do I belong to the dialout group?   What's that?  I said I'm new to Ubuntu.  (I'm used to KDE, not Gnome.)
