I connect using DSL, but I use a router between the modem and my
system.  I set up the router to do the ppp stuff using the web
interface.  That was a while ago and I'm vague on recollection of the
details.

You could try from a terminal, hoping it was taken care of
automatically during install, 
service network restart
That should start the old network server.  Then try an
ifconfig eth0
to see if it worked.  There should be a TCP address showing.
All this is a long shot, but I haven't done the ppp0 thing directly for
a long time.

On my system, I see ifup-ppp and ifdown-ippp
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.  Perhaps you could run
ifup-ppp
to bring up the ppp connection?
