I have been given a Presario M2000 laptop with Ubuntu 10.10 installed. Works fine on broadband but I need to set it up to use a dial-up connection. I cant find any info on the dialup modem or where to set up a dialup account. Any suggestions?
Ok, have installed gnome-ppp and when I run detect it gives the following.....
Device = /dev/ttySHSFO Type = Analog Modem Speed = 460800 Phone Line = Tone
When I click the connect button i get "Connecting..." but nothing after that.
This is the log from the dial attempt....

In my experience dial up modems are a PITA in Linux, partly because most modems tend to be winmodems. Valtam's link seems to relate to a 3G modem, which largely work out of the box in most distros.
peeyw, it appears that at least it is seeing your modem. I presume that you have entered your username and password correctly in gnome-ppp.
