I just can't, after scanning the } manpage... Does ppp chooses a modem from the /etc/modems database? Assuming you're talking about user ppp, it talks to whichever device you have listed in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, at whatever speed you tell it to talk at. You can change the string sent by the modem by altering what you feed the "set dial" portion of ppp.conf. There is no notion of "which modem to use" as much as "which device (file) to talk to".
