I've used Huawei MF190 and ZTE K3565-Z under Linux with wvdial + pppd for
Internet and Vodafone Mobile Connect for SMS reading and sending. Both support
AT commands. Vodafone Mobile Connect is a Python application with varying
stability from version to version. Haven't tried gnokii with those.

With kind regards,
