Hi Mike,
I began here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothDialup

Supposedly it's far easier to do in Ubuntu 8.10 which is what the new
Easy Peasy 1.0 is based on.  If you can wait a week or so, it might be
worth waiting for the dust to settle on Easy Peasy, upgrade yourself and
then set up the modem then.

The new network manager has a special section which is sort of explained here:

I'm afraid i haven't managed to get it working yet on easy peasy, but I
did after a lot of battling get it working on 8.04.1.  I'm pretty sure I
will get it going again, but I haven't had the need to yet, as I'm not
traveliing with work at the moment.

I have the most trouble with my phone refusing to stay connected to the
eee pc.  Bluetooth file sharing was a bit flaky, even with 8.04.1.

Let me know what you decide to do, perhaps it'll help me out, or spur me
to look into it again myself.

Jon
