I have been using gnome-ppp for about 1.5 years (on Arch linux - but more  
recently Kubuntu 8.10). It is basically just a gui over wvdial (so you  
might try just wvdial too).

I'm not sure if it would work for your particular model - but I've had  
success with it with my samsung U700. Also a couple of my friends have  
been using it with nokias, sony erricsons and a few others and all were  
successfull.

Regards

Nicol
