Hi Brett,
you can try to customize the following from /etc/ppp/ppp.conf

umts:
 set device /dev/cuaU0.0
 set speed 460800
 set phone "*99#"
 set log local chat error warning connect
 disable ipv6cp
 disable mppe
 disable lqr
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \
                \"\" AT OK-AT-OK \
                AT OK-AT-OK AT+CPIN=!!!PIN_GOES_HERE!!! OK-AT-OK\
                AT+CGDCONT=1,\\\"IP\\\",\\\"your operators APN\\\" OK \
                AT OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
 enable dns
 set authname ppp
 set authkey ppp
 disable vjcomp
 disable protocomp
 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
 add default HISADDR

And then to start the connection you enter: ppp -ddial umts
Some options in this may be unnecessary but you have to tweak it to your 
needs.
