The first question is do you have a real modem or a winmodem?
You cna try one of the following to setup your connection wvdial or kppp.

Hi.....

My Laptop have a in-built Modem.I have using Wvdial.My Wvdial.conf file is here:

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyS2
Baud = 57600
Init = ATZ
Init2 = AT S11=50
Phone = #777
Username = prakash542
Password = prakash 

[Dialer shh]
Init3 = ATM0 

[Dialer pulse]
Dial Command = ATDP

When i run this code in the Terminal i received following errors:

Cannot open /dev/ttyS2: Input/output error

My doubt is

Modem = /dev/ttyS2

whether this is correct or not.I am sure to say that My password,user name and phone no are correct.This is a dial-up connection.

You could try changing it to something else like /dev/modem, have you tried using kppp? Open a terminal/konsole window and login as root

su -

Then issue this command:

system-config-network

From here you should be able to configure the modem.

Just type the above mentioned commands and a graphical network tool will open allowing you to setup the modem (hopefully). It's very user friendly.
