I have similar behavior with my USRobotics USR5637 USB dialup modem. This particular modem is probably the best choice for a USB dialup modem under Linux now. Anyway, I had no trouble using this modem to connect under Jaunty using gnome-ppp; when I upgraded to Karmic yesterday and tried to connect via PPP, gnome-ppp or wvdialconf would fail to detect the modem. A couple of times when I rebooted the computer gnome-ppp would be able to find the modem, but I would make a ppp connection and a minute or two it would drop the modem again. Fiddling around with

sudo rmmod usb-storage
sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=... as above didn't help me.

However, I just tried booting into the old kernel (2.6.28-15 instead of 2.6.31-14) and I now have no trouble using the modem.
