It sounds as though your system is not set to allow ordinary users to dial 
out if you've got the same prob with all those apps.

go into a terminal window, do a su you'll be prompted for the root password, 
then when you're in as root do linuxconf, then in the window that opens up 
go into Config -> Networking -> PPP/SLIP/PLIP then in the hardware tab of 
the window that opens up put a check next to "Allow any user (de)activate 
the interface."

I hope this helps.
