I think they are really trying hard to help you on that forum. 

The problem seems to be that you can't download gnome-ppp, which you need 
for your Internet connection, because you have no internet connection :(

They suggest:

If you have another computer with access to the net, use that, copy the 
file to a removable flash disk or something, then copy it to your Kubuntu 
box.  If there are dependencies, play safe and copy them too.  You will 
need to install the dependencies before you can install gnome-ppp.

Once installed, you should be able to connect via your cellphone.

Since you have an internet connection when booting Windows XP, you could 
use that to download the needed files.

If you have problems doing that, I suggest you ask for instructions on 
that forum or this list.

Good luck!
