When you connect your data enabled mobile to ur computer, usually some kind of device node is created which is capable of accepting AT commands. In case of USB connection, the device node is usually /dev/ttyACMx (ACM standing for Abstract Control Model - a standard followed by a number of USB modems and ISDN terminal adapters). In case of bluetooth, usually the device node is /dev/rfcomm[x]. Take a look at /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf if you want to play around with the settings. Once you have the proper device node up and running, you will need to use wvdial or any other dialer software to dial out through the device (the dialed to number varies from provider to provider, check out the various forums for that. Also, you may need to fiddle with the AT commands used by the dialer in order to set the APN, etc.) Have a nice day...
