Just plug it in. Check dmesg or /var/log/messages. It will probably be detected as /dev/ttyUSB0.

To use it as a modem, run your terminal program (e.g., minicom) and set the device to what was detected (e.g., /dev/ttyUSB0). You use the same Hayes AT commands that you would use on a regular modem.

The sync programs also require configuration with the device name. Check the man page or documentation for each package to see how you need to configure the device. For example, for the gnokii/xgnokii programs I use, I needed to edit /etc/gnokiirc to specify the device information.

What does your /var/log/messages say when you plug the phone in?

It says your phone is at /dev/ttyACM0:

Code:
cdc_acm 3-1:3.1: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
cdc_acm 3-1:3.3: ttyACM1: USB ACM device

You can chmod or chown the device file to make it accessible to you as a user. Depending on how your distribution automates this, you may need to add an entry to /etc/security/console.perms or add/update a udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/. If you have trouble figuring this out, start a new question regarding your distribution and automating the permissions. That way, someone familiar with that distribution will take notice.

Finally got my phone connected to Kmobile tools by setting the device to /dev/ttyACM0 and got my phone talking to linux but getting errors while dialing to ppp through gprs, kppp gives connection error when dialed and wvdial gives username and password not supplied error. but in my gprs service there is no username & password, it just dials to my apn and establishes connection. i could not figure out where the problem is but i have not tried this before, the same works well in windows by mobile networking wizard in sony ericsson pc suite.
