What is exactly the model of the modem? Setting up dial up modem in Linux can be scary if the vendor has stopped support or drivers..for the so called common Winmodems.

It's LG USB CDMA modem and the connection is WLL.

Dial up USB CDMA ???

or are you connecting from a Wi-Fi Access point ?? (BSNL/Airtel Dialup? )

Are u using a client soft to connect in windows

There are many ways of connecting using a USB modem

1) using wvdial (Refer my sig blog) .... wvdial is a generic software client
2) Gnome-ppp software.... this is the easiest
3) Network manager -> Mobile Broadband wizard

but for more specific directions .... u have to provide more info on your isp
