How do an end-user make use of a phonet network interface?

But what is the usbpn0 network interface, and could I use that instead of fiddling with chatscripts and pppd, to get a 3G connection? Is this feature complete? Google came up short on this topic, and the kernel documentation did not enlighten me. The best I find is http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-usb/2009/7/21/6243913 . Does this still describe the current state of affairs? Thanks, Dag B
