I rather like my one-word answer :), but sure: nmcli a command line client for the Network Manager daemon. – tumbleweed Jan 10 '12 at 21:24

i use wvdial to connect to my 3g modem as below:

install wvdial : sudo apt-get install wvdial
edit the wvdial.comf file by any text editor say gedit by below command:

sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
copy paste the following lines in wvdial.conf

[Dialer a]

Modem Type = Analog Modem

Phone = *99#

ISDN = 0

Baud = 460800

Username = " "

Password = " "

Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0

Init1 = ATZ

Init2 = at+cgdcont=1,"ip","your apn"

Stupid Mode = 1

4 connect using ,( u can change the name as u want by replacing a in above wvdial.conf )

wvdial a

(just add apn according to isp you are using like aircelgprs for aircel, bsnnet for bsnl etc. in wvial.conf file in place of "your apn")
