I put the pppd to use the device /dev/modem

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this. Please *explain* what you did. DSL has a gui ppp configuration tool that should work for you, at least to get the modem to dial. Is this what you used? If so, I don't know what else to say right now.
I use a lucent winmodem in DSL, and configured it properly using that tool.

when I was creating a connection on pppd. there is something like this:
modem port:( so i typed) /dev/modem.( that I mean with "I put the pppd to use the device /dev/modem")

where is that gui "ppp configuration tool"?

In the desktop menu:
System -> Net Setup -> dial-up PPP
Click on "Config" for a perl script which will hopefully help you configure ppp

I'm not sure what else to tell you at the moment, particularly if you've already tried using this tool. It seemed fairly straightforward to me, but at this point I can't recall if there might have been some issues. I'll try it out in a clean DSL system a little later to see if there was something else that needs to be done.

I tried to use the microcom to detect and configure the modem
but it doesn't give any answer.
I used the command: microcom -D/dev/ttyS14
do you know what can be the trouble?

I don't know anything about microcom. I could make a guess, though, that it doesn't work because a Lucent winmodem is not a modem.
