Now from another xterminal you can rin ifconfig and look for the new interface - ppp0
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol

After this connection was made there are 2 options:
1) replace my default gateway with 10.0.0.1.
route del default gw 192.168.1.1; route add default gw 10.0.0.1
or
2) add a route to get to the cingular gateway for my phone (ip 66.209.11.61 -taken from my phone settings)
route add -net 66.209.11.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev ppp0

tested by:
ping 66.209.11.61
and
browsing to 64.233.161.99 (this is www.1.google.com)

Works OK except for DNS.
