Thank you for this Jason.

I have just done a google for [ gprs modem linux ] and received 
1,170,000 hits!

What would seem to be one of the more useful hits near the beginning of 
the list is a document by Mikko Rapeli on "Of Linux, GPRS Phones, Serial 
Cable, Irda, Bluetooth and USB" at http://kapsi.fi/~mcfrisk/linux_gprs.html

There is obviously much more activity in this area than I was previously 
aware of.
