Pete, I'm using Man 8.0. This is how I configured my dialup connection. 
Under KDE I have a icon Mandrake Control Centre. I cliked on that. On 
the left hand pane I clicked on the + sign next to the internet icon. 
This gives another icon called connection. Click on that and in the 
right hand pane you have Profile / Del profile / new profile. Near the 
bottom right of this pane is a confgure button. I clicked on that, chose 
auto detection and next. Then chose normal modem connection & next 
again. Selected com2 & next. Gave a connection name Worldonline (my 
isp), phone number used to access my isp, user name (the rest of what 
goes after  [at]  in email address, typed in my password (make sure it's 
correct) authentication - pap. Next, then you are asked if you would 
like to test your connection.
   Sorry if the above is spelled out to basic, not sure what you know. 
Works for me ok, sometimes I get a ppd demon died but not often. Have 
you selected the correct com port and your modem is not a win modem?
