two things come to mind
1.  in the netcfg setup there is a setting that says "allow any
user....."
        make sure this is clicked.
2.  if you are useing afterstep there is a neat little utility
called asmodem.
        it goes in your wharf. 
you double click it and your modem dials.
        there is no need to login
as su or root for as modem.
        it shows if the conection
is up or down and is used to turn it on and off.

I cannot use the modem any way except as root.

I have to boot up, type isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf then when it does its
thing, (the exact same numbers and checksums as when it boots)  I must
perform a 'shutdown -r now, and then when it reboots, I then have a
modem.  I do not know why I must reboot.  I get the exact report the
first time it boots.

The only way I can activate my ppp0 connection, is by using network
config and activating ppp0.  Nothing else the book shows works.  I only
have network config in root.  I cannot access the internet any way other
than as root.
