I tried several programs designed to to be used with gsm cards, including Vodaphone mobile connect card driver for linux, available here. No dice with that, although I did have quite a few problems trying to find a version that would work eventually got 2.0 beta1 to work. Kept getting a crash with twistd, python-twisted core, uploaded a few bug reports to launchpad.
I also tried gnome ppp, this didnt work either. I eventually found wvdial command line utility. Just had to edit /etc/wvdial.conf see below for what I found works ok for me.
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 115200
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
ISDN = 0
Phone = 99#
Password = CINGULAR1
Username = WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
*******************************UPDATE****11/13/08************************************
If your not the command line type, then install gnome-ppp. This is basically a gui frontend for wvdial. Just choose setup, and detect modem. The card will show up as /dev/tty/USB0 . Then enter the *99# for number to dial, username and password from above, save and click connect!
