bluez-utils and ppp.

The setup is like this:

  1) You need to pair the phone with your laptop.  This can sometimes get
     tricky (e.g. at one time I had to do sudo /etc/init.d/bluez-utils rest=
art
     in an xterm before attempting to pair, just so that the bluetooth
     daemon would inherit my environment settings ($DISPLAY and
     $XAUTHORITY) and be able to pop up the PIN entry dialog when
     requested by the phone).

  2) Add an rfcomm binding in /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf

      rfcomm0 {
        bind yes;
        device XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX;
        channel 1;
        comment "My phone";
      }

  4) Configure dialup as with a regular modem.  The device is
     /dev/rfcomm0, and the phone number is *99#.

This is sufficient if you have configured GPRS access settings (APN) on
your phone itself; if not, then you'll have to do the configuration in
the dialup chat script, with AT+GCONT=3D1,"IP","yourapn" before the
ATDT*99#.
