I use Nokia 6630 phone and Orange (french mobile phone provider).
Plug it with USB (you must have /dev/ttyACM0).

apt-get install ppp wvdial

And create these 3 files.

/etc/ppp/peers/gprs file:

lcp-echo-failure 0
lcp-echo-interval 0
nodetach
debug
show-password
connect "/usr/bin/wvdial --chat --config /etc/ppp/peers/gprs-wvdial.conf foo"
disconnect /etc/ppp/peers/gprs-disconnect-chat
/dev/ttyACM0
115200 # fast enough
crtscts # serial cable, Bluetooth and USB, on some occations with IrDA too
local
:10.0.0.1
noipdefault
ipcp-accept-local
defaultroute
usepeerdns
novj
nobsdcomp
novjccomp
nopcomp
noaccomp
noauth
user "user"

/etc/ppp/peers/gprs-wvdial.conf file:

[Dialer foo]
Init1 = ATH
Init2 = ATE1
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","orange.fr","",0,0
Dial Command = ATD
Phone = *99#
Username = orange
Password = orange

/etc/ppp/peers/gprs-disconnect-chat file:

#!/bin/sh

exec /usr/sbin/chat -V -s -S
ABORT          "BUSY"
ABORT          "ERROR"
ABORT          "NO DIALTONE"
SAY            "nSending break to the modemn"
""             "K"
""             "+++ATH"
SAY            "nPDP context detachedn"

Finally you can:

pppd call gprs

Note that with Orange you can’t use SSH port (port 22) but others classical ports are enabled: 21, 25, 80, 110, 143, 443, 993 and 995.

Update on 2008 : you can now use SSH port!
