I've never succeeded in using linuxconf to configure anything to do
with a modem (on Redhat, at least).  Redhat isn't very modem oriented,
and they set up several things wrong so that modem configuration 
won't work right.  I have a page on how I get modems and PPP working
on Redhat 6.2 and 7.0; if you're on some other distro, perhaps the
information will still be helpful.
