what you need is wvdial and the entire set with that, unfortunately
this is not packaged by default and there is a list of 4 packages that
you need

Please look at this help page

 How I restored the missing wvdial (Ubuntu 9.04)

(please read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1138101)

This note refers to Ubuntu 9.04 running on a PC that has no access to
the internet via LAN or WiFi and the modem we have is not recognized
by the system (like many 3G CDMA or HSPA modems).
So this is a strange and difficult case!

At first I downloaded the following packages (from a pc connected to
the internet, any O.S.):

1. http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libxplc0.3.13/download
2. http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libwvstreams4.4-base/download
3. http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libwvstreams4.4-extras/download
4. http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libuniconf4.4/download
5. http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/wvdial/download


Note that above are all for an i386 pc.

I copied all to a USB memory stick, and then paste them to the ubuntu
9.04 running pc into /var/cache/apt/archives/ directory using sudo
nautilus from terminal. Then I installed all packages by double
clicking each icon (of .deb package) in above order (1,2,3,4 and
finally 5). I ignored all informative messages. Finally I had to run
wvdialconf, edit the /etc/wvdial.conf file and be connected with sudo
wvdial.

You can get my wvdial_904_i386 zip file (size=1.04 MBytes) containing all above.
Into .zip file there is a .txt with checksums. Please CHECK all files
and do it at your own risk.

Note: All above worked with an Asus EeePC 1000H running Ubuntu 9.04
Netbook Remix live version booting from an SD card (all on the fly!)
2nd test with installation to Hard Disk worked also.

---> UPDATE: above packages are from ubuntu.com <---

***
what you can do is once they are downloaded - copy them to a directory
(temp or foo or whatever) navigate there in terminal and run this
command

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

this takes care of any sequencing issues.
