Yes, there's some special bits you have to dial, but apart from that it's 
pretty much standard PPP:

OK              ATE1
OK              'AT+cgdcont=1,"IP","orangeinternet"'
OK              ATD*99***1#

The orangeinternet section (and perhaps the whole line) would need to be 
altered for your provider.
