I'd say you need to install the USB modem support and you may need a 
dialer program such as Injoy to pass commands to the modem.

Assuming these modems work in a similar manner to a 3G attached phone 
acting as a modem - my article on voice may be of some help:

By the way, this e-mail is being sent to you from an OS/2 system over 
and external (ethernet attached) 3G internet connection using the Virgin 
Broadband 3G Home service which uses a re-badged Option GlobeSurfer II 
7.2 modem. Option have both external ethernet attached and usb attached 
3G data modems.
