Good news, it is getting better. I am able to dial my ISP number using minicom. It
was an irq conflict with my PCMCIA card which prevent me to access to the minicom
prompt.At least now I know that my mwave modem is up and running.

Now I am almost there, the last problem I think, is a ppp problem.

After dialing ATDT###-#### I have the following result
login:XXXX  (Submit)
password:XXXX (submit)
 entering ppp mode.
IP address is  xx.xx.xxx.x
MTU is 1524
on line of garbage characters
NO CARRIER

My question is what am I supposed to do after entering the ppp mode?

Thanks

 I set up correctly minicom using minicom -s , and when I do type minicom
in my
 console, the modem is initializing which is good, the devide /dev/ttyS1
is
 locked which is good too. But after I do not have any prompt to enter
 'ATDT###-####'.
 If I try to dial my ISP phone number using the DIAL Function in the
help menu,
 I have the message Modem already connected, hang up fisrt! How is it
possible,
 I did not specify any phone number anywhere. The Online timer is in
the same
 time&nbsp; running. I guess I need some help!
