No idea in the context of kdialer, but what is the output of "netstat"? 
Do you have in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/, among files named 
"ifcfg-*", an ifcfg- file that names or is related to ppp or modem (no 
modem here currently, so I'm going off of memory)? If so, what are the 
contents of that file?
