Default Internet problems

When I configured my modem, I used Earthlink as my ISP. When I use Kinternet to dial in, nothing happens. Is it a modem problem or is it Earthlink? My modem was not detected. I added it manually. I have a US Robotics 56K PCI Faxmodem V.92.

If same modem work with Earthlink but not with other ISP, it is ISP issue. I know few ISP has issues but that was in late 90s and not in 2007. What error message do you see ppp log file or /var/log/messages file?
