Blackberry 8700g as modem

I have a BB 8700g and use it as a modem on WinXp and was wondering if anyone has had any luck setting it up as a modem on Linux. I am running Kubuntu 6.10.

Thanks.

I guess that the lack of any responses should be taken as a 'hell no'...

I'm using a BlackBerry 8703e from Verizon with Puppy Linux. I posted a package here:

You might be able to use it as a pattern for another disto.
