Is it possible you talk about two different things?
I think Joseph doesn't use the modem for a data connection but to send
sms through.

1. Install any smpppd utility (my favorite is wvdial). (You may
need to zypper/yum/apt-get depending on your distro)
2. If you are using wvdial, follow this:
http://support.real-time.com/linux/dialup/wvdial.html#configure
I have a laptop running Ubuntu Lucid with a USB modem running wvdial
as my gateway, and the thing has had uptimes of > 45 days with the
connection rock solid almost the whole time.
I use the attached wvdial init script (copy to /etc/init.d/).
Then I add the following line to /etc/crontab:
* * * * * root service wvdial status || service wvdial start
That will check every minute to make sure wvdial is still running and
start it if it isn't.
It's a rock solid setup for me.
