Thanks again Neil.  My Nokia N82 is working like this:

Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Phone = *99***1#
ISDN = 0
Username = username
Init1 = ATZ
Password = password
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 460800

Any better way to manage the connection than 'wvdial' and ctrl+c ?  It
sounds like wicd doesn't support ppp yet.
