If your modem is a REAL MODEM, then all that you should do is the following opening up a terminal shell
$ su -
passwd:
# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
it will scan and try to find a port could be /dev/ttyS0, ..., /dev/ttyS3, ..., etc. Then you edit the username, phone number and password and you should connect without problems.
Also,
You can try the configuration via NetworkManager, but I am more knowledgeable with wvdial and I can advise you with that better. I use winmodems and compile drivers for them :) [with exceptions of some of them :( ]

Antonio
