OK - then lets do this in  logical steps

I'd suggest that you remove any possibility of conflict by taking out 
the Agere modem.

First - go to http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/index.php

Print the INSTALL file
Download the driver

Then
remove the Agere modem so that there is no possibility of conflict

Install the HSF drivers exactly as required by the INSTALL file using 
Method A (.rpm).  *DO* make sure that you remove any previous versions 
of the driver as instructed by the INSTALL file. *DONT* be tempted to 
take any shortcuts.

Then see how you get on. As instructed, run hsfconfig


Once that is running OK, then we can worry about kppp
