This may have happened when you installed the OS during the visual hardware configuration screen. You can edit the file and delete these lines in order to stop this from happening. I may be wrong, but I think this is one of the rare changes that requires a reboot in order to take effect. BTW. I had trouble getting connected to my ISP with the same model of modem you have. It required very specific initialization strings to be used to set the modem up properly. If you have trouble connecting you can look in the modem log from Windows to see what those strings are. If you can't find them there send me an email and I'll try to find my old ppp configuration in my archives. N.B. that I only read my email 2 or 3 times a week so an immediate reply is not guaranteed.
