Long time since I have done a modem setup, but can you be specific about what you tried so far?
Did you try to set up the modem by going to Start-->Settings-->Networking?

I'm having problems with the latest Kubuntu and a Motorola external serial 56K modem. KPPP from the menu can see the modem and will connect to the internet, but seems to be disconnected from the TCP/IP stack. No internet app will communicate.
From the network manager KPPP acts very differently. It doesn't see the modem at all.

The modem is the serial external 56K Motorola VoiceSURFR model 3456 EXT VS US
I found that the network manager is causing all sorts of problems. Exit this and tell it not to load at startup. Just use kppp and all will be well.
