When plugged in using the USB cable Linux detects the phone as a
USB-ACM compliant modem. It will be accessible using /dev/ttyACMx
(where x = 0-9).
You can also access it using IrDA (using ircomm) or Bluetooth
(rfcomm). ircomm or rfcomm will let you access your phone like a
device connected to a serial port just like the USB-ACM mode.
After that, you can use your favorite PPP dialer to connect to the
internet. You'll just have to use this init string:
---begin init string---
ATE1
AT+cgdcont=1,"IP","XXXX"
---end init string---
Replace XXXX with the APN that you must use with your telco.
Then put this as the number to dial:
*99#
BTW, these settings are known to only work with Nokia phones. For
Sony-Ericsson phones, it works differently. You need to look at CID
for the Data Access Accounts (under Connectivity->Data Comm) for the
corresponding APN that you need to use. (Example: "Smart Internet"
with CID=2 uses "internet" APN). After figuring out the correct CID,
just use the following to dial-out:
*99***x#
(replace x with the CID). Just use "ATE1" as your init string for SE phones.
