D02NE works fine on my ubuntu box. But I never get it worked with
NetworkManager. I am using it via wvdial-it is simple and clear. You can
get lots of information about how to set up a connection by goolgling
'wvdial'.

I don't think there is anything special for auth. I put username and
password as 'em' which mentioned in the URL you pointed. Following lines
come from my configurations:
--
$ cat /etc/wvdial.conf 
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2
Modem Type = USB Modem
Baud = 460800
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
ISDN = 0
Phone = *99***1#
Password = em
Username = em
--

Due to lack of D-bus support, wvdial will never notify the networking
status to any other applications, such as firefox. You need a bit of
workaround. You may revise your d-bus config as following:
--

By the way, take a look at your dial-up utilities on Windows, you can
get the spec of you modem and ISP info.

Hope this could be help. Good luck.
