I get the same alarm thingy when I tried to script PPP myself.  I can
talk to my modem with minicom and connect and start PPP manually. 
anyway I would try reading the modem HOWTO first and get that to work. 
it looks like the PNP HOWTO will help you a lot too.  then read the PPP
HOWTO and the ISP_HOOKUP-HOWTO these and others can all be found at the
LDP:

		good luck and have fun
oh, if you are running redhat you can use netcfg as root to start PPP
check out the netcfg howto on redhat's pages for that...
