Following an incident where I was forced to use GPRS on my mobile to connect back to work I've finally got round to sorting out the modem connection on the Inspiron 5100 that I use for remote work so that I can use it under linux.
It comes with a PC Tel soft modem which doesn't just appear as a /dev/ttyS? port.
The solution is quite simple
apt-get install build-essential module-assistant sl-modem-source
m-a update
m-a prepare
m-a a-i sl-modem
apt-get install sl-modem-daemon
This detects the modem and symlinks it to /dev/modem
