Hi SBarringer,
if your modem is a serial modem, and you only have 1 serial connection 
at back of computer,
it will be ttyS0  To connect turn on modem (if you filled in your isp in 
pppconfig)  type in a terminal  *pon "name of isp you entered in pppconfig"
and press enter key
*To disconnect type at command line  *poff   only and press enter key

*Hope this helps
Take Care
