first follow the directions on this forum here http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=2280 until you get to the edit gprs file.
now we need to add the debian repo
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and add
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main
now we update available applications
sudo apt-get update
then we install wvdial
sudo apt-get install wvdial
now we setup the wvdial conf file so;
sudo kwrite /etc/wvdial.conf
add;
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/rfcomm0
Phone =#777
Username = 2075551234@uscc.net
Password = 2075551234
New PPPD = yes
Auto dns
Idle 0
save the file exit kwrite (your username is your phone number@yourprovidersdomain and the password is your telephone number. My provider is US Cellular so uscc.net)
now reboot
sudo /etc/init.d/dbus start
sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start
sudo wvdial
thats it!

the biggest problem is that the BT solution in the wiki only seems to work while you're using the eee. once you turn it off or put it on standby you have to do the command line stuff over again.

Interesting. This looks closer to what I need. Do you have to pair the EEE and the Phone first?

It works on Verizon EVDO network. The only difference is
Username = vzw
Password = your 10 digit phone no@vzw3g.com
One thing that I found counter intuitive is disconnecting from tray icon doesn't work. I have to control-c in terminal to break wvdial.
Can anyone create an icon that will run
sudo /etc/init.d/dbus start
sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start
sudo wvdial
