Try "netcfg", also available under the control panel as something like
"network configuration".

You could also try this...

If your ISP uses PAP or CHAP authentication, add a line like

    username * password

to /etc/ppp/pap-secrets or /etc/ppp/chap-secrets, respectively.  (You
can always add it to both.)

Then save this as a script, edit it appropriately, "chmod +x" it, and
run it:

-- begin --
#!/bin/sh

# fill in your user name here
USERNAME=foo
# fill in the phone number to dial here
NUMBER=555-0000

exec /usr/sbin/pppd connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT '\
'BUSY ABORT "NO DIALTONE" ABORT "NO DIAL TONE" "" "ATZ" OK ATDT'"$NUMBER"\
' CONNECT' /dev/modem 115200 crtscts modem defaultroute asyncmap 0 bsdcomp \
15,15 lock name $USERNAME noipdefault ipcp-accept-local ipcp-accept-remote \
noauth

-- end --

(Be careful that you get the various quotes, spaces, etc. right.  Let
me know if you need a copy of that sent as an attachment or something.)
