I haven't accessed the above specifications (if there are any at all)
because the page asks data I'm unwilling to enter;
In general, it depends. If the cellphone (like my Openmoko Freerunner)
acts on USB as an Ethernet device (man cdce) and itself then as a router
to the provider, it will work; if it gives direct serial access to the
chips, it must be checked based on the USB vendorID and productID.
Look for a dealer who allows to connect it once to your laptop and read
the ID with usbconfig(8).
