Reid,
Excuse me please but are you aware that minicom is not an utility which
can connect you to the Internet? Its function is limited to use
(including upload/download) your computer as a dumb ASCII terminal
connected by a modem for example to an other PC.
If what you want is to connect to the Internet, we do recommend at least
during debugging to use the wvdial package. I suggest reading
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/wvdial.html
Once your connection works and if you care for a more "user friendly"
interface (I don't) then you will easily be able to use kppp or whatever.
