Do you know of a command that could list all the ports that Linux can detect on my system? Because I think that linux is not
detecting my ports correctly and I would like to see what ports it has found on my system.
When you say nothing happens what exactly is kppp doing-what is the response from kppp when you attempt to connect?

You could also try commands at the terminal e.g "pon yourisp.com" ( replace yourisp with what you have created as an account name using pppconfig.)
"pon" dials your modem and "poff" hangs up the connection.

You can also change modem settings and most other communication varibles using "minicom -s" at a terminal.

As far as a command that would list all your "ports" since your modem is a pci card (right?) then lspci -v gives you the pci card specs.
knoppix has a GUI that might do what you want Kmenu>System>Info Center.

Hope this helps I had a lot of modem issues when I installed debian "woody" a few years back which is how I learned some of this stuff.
