Openzaurus 3.5.4.1 And Modem Card

I have a Noname GSM/GPRS CF card that used to work fine with the Sharp ROM. Well i loaded OpenZaurus 3.5.4.1 since i was tired of using the sharp rom and wanted something with more options. I have a Wifi card that the network app recognized and works fine, but the modem card isn't. what's the stabdard way to use modem cards with OZ? do you just use linux pppd? or is there a helper app that works with OPIE?

OPIE 1.2.1
Linux Kernal 2.6.16
OpenZaurus 3.5.4.1

Thanks!
