You may need to set up some kind of "chat" script to emulate the AT
interface of the mobile phone, this will take some trial and error since
everything seems to want to send different commands :-/ The important
one would be the ATD<whatever> command, in that case send "CONNECT"
(chat will add the \r\n) then start PPP.
Hope that helps.
