Hi Tuan :-)

well, it seems like you are almost there.
you can check if the gsm network has data capabilities with the
following command:

atz
OK
AT+CBST=?

+CBST: (0-7,12,14,65,66,68,70,71,75),(0),(0-3)

OK

i am able to make a call  after that with:
AT+CBST=7,0,1
AT+CR=1
ATD xxxxxxxxxx

the username/password i need is indeed my username/password for my
dial-up ISP, but it is only needed *after* a successful call to my ISP.
after a successful login i should be able to start a ppp link with my ISP.

If  i make a datacall to my home phone, i can hear the FR trying to
initiated a data connection, kind of like a calling fax machine.
So you could test that.

A good source of information on ppp could be
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO/
I use no PIN, but i don't think that matters much.

Good luck, i will try to make a full internet connection once i have my
username password and let you know the results.

Kind regards,
@
