I'm using KPPP to use my EVDO modem. It connects and works properly.

+1 for this..
Editing /etc/ppp/peers/ppp0 could do the trick.
But I think it's no so difficult to add the option to edit Init strings (such
as in gnome-ppp) to modem (ppp) connections in network-manager.
Actually most of the GPRS/UMTS/HSDPA connections (at least in europe) are not
