Dialling INTO a wireless broadband modem with OpenMoko

People,
I have a remote server with a wireless broadband modem (dongle) on it
and when am visiting the remote site I can make sure the dongle is
connected to the provider and leave it running like that. The
connection usually stays up for some days - allowing me to log in to it
remotely - but inevitably the dongle disconnects. I am wondering if it
would be possible to use minicom on the Freerunner to dial the phone
number of the remote dongle, make a connection and give me a dumb
terminal login to the server that the dongle is on. It seems that this
would just be a wireless version of what I used to do in the "good ol'
days" with wired, acoustic modems connected to standard phone lines. Is
there some way to do what I want? If it is possible, it would be a much
nicer solution than leaving the remote dongle connected to the provider.
Thanks,
Phil.
