It just happens that when you plug your phone in with a cable (USB or serial) it works the same way as 3G does. There isn't support for changing the APN right now but that's on the list to fix up pretty soon. The existing support is for 3G modems, including USB and PCCard/PCMCIA.

They have information about a lot of these that makes it very simple to connect via a gsm phone. For the provider info, any way we could get that data from Maemo/Nokia N810.

They shouldn't change based on provider. However, the PPP dialup chatscripts do change based on your provider, and even your plan - for example O2 PAYG has a different access point to O2 contract. And different proxy settings, I believe. Serial port settings will depend on your phone, whether you’re using bluetooth, a data cable or IR. They shouldn’t change based on provider.
