	It is not possible (as far as I know) to not support GPRS provider. GPRS is 
simple modem. If you use serial port then it will work as standard serial 
modem. If you use usb data-cabel make sure you have corresponding kernel 
module. If you use bluetooth (this is what currently I use most of the time 
with Nokia and Siemens phones) - everything should work perfectly.
	Personally I tried a lot phones under Linux: many Nokia models, Ericsson, 
Samsung, Siemens and some others. ALL of them work under Linux perfectly 
throw IR, USB, Bluetooth (if phone supports this). I never tried GPRS support 
under Windows (because I don't have one installed at all).
	If your kernel have problems with USB data-cabel (it doesn't recognized) make 
sure you have enabled "USB Serial Converter support" and all corresponding 
modules there.
	Please note that you don't need special programs to use GPRS! Only 
theoretically possible exception are software modems but these are extremely 
rare and you shouldn't buy phone that have one; but actually I never seen 
(and even don't know of) phones that havn't hardware modem so this is 
unlikely to be the case. Standard pppd should work perfectly for you. You can 
find more information (hopefully) after googling for "PHONE_MODEL Linux 
pppd". You can try similar model names of similar phones if you didn't find 
useful information but usually this approach works well for Linux newbies who 
want GPRS and most models of popular cell phones.

	P.S. My situation is actually very simiral to yours because I'm leaving in a 
village where only radio communications are possible so I'm using GPRS with 
one-way sattelite Internet access. Using one-way sattelite Internet with GPRS 
very cheap and fast.
