Check under the modem lights preferences -> advanced -> modem lock file

If modem lock file listed in the preferences doesn't agree with the what's actually in 
/var/lock, then the ppp connection will work, but you won't get flashing lights, 
graph, etc.

For example, I have:

[grover@slick grover]$ ll /var/lock/LCK*
-rw-r--r--    1 root     grover         11 Oct  5 09:04 /var/lock/LCK..modem

and I have to set the modem lights preferences to "/var/lock/LCK..modem" in order for 
it to work properly.
