In general minicom is your friend. Reenable the PIN on your simcard. execute 
AT to see if the modem responds to you (kill other users if not), reset using 
sysfs files if needed.
Once you get OK on an AT request do:
	AT+CFUN=1
	AT+CPIN?

it should ask for SIM PIN..

	AT+CPIN=YOURPIN
	AT+CPIN?

it should say it is ready..

	AT+CREG=1
	AT+COPS=0

you should see +CREG coming by.


alternatively if you have qpe installed. You can go 
to /opt/Qtopia/etc/default/Trolltech/Log.conf change all Enabled = 0 to 
Enabled = 1. Kill the qpe process, take a look 
at /etc/X11/XSession.d/89qtopia, copy the two exports to your console, run 
qpe and take a look at the chat qpe has with the modem.

please share your results and if you don't know what I'm talking about ask.
