heartcall,

Try a Google for gnome-ppp. That might get you started. I ran acroos this for you @ http://www.ubuntux.org/how-to-install-d ... -gnome-ppp.

I just installed it myself after seeing your question. Never know when it might come in handy. LOL!

I am not on my Mint PC but I guess that in the Control Center there is an entry for the network in which you can activate and configure the desired interface…:idea: Did you already try?

Therefore my suggestion.

Adler, I still do not have access to my Mint box for several days so I do not know anymore where exactly in the Control Center but it however seems to me that exists. But I do not know if that will help, perhaps your suggestion will be better. :)

Is it an internal modem? Those things are called "winmodems" for a reason. If it's an external modem, it should work without any tampering. External modems can be cheap, so go and pick one up instead.
