Did you forget to attach it? Anyhow you can use Kppp to connect, but before you do that it is highly recommended that you use wvdial http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/wvdial.html to troubleshoot the connection. After establishing a connection you can revert to kppp. I had always used Kppp because it worked for me, but after Jacques, Marv and others on the list guided me, wvdial does a better job for me.
