I am having trouble understanding what I need to do.

I have the TS-GSM1 card and a Sony Ericsson GR48 modem.  Using the 
Debian installation on a TS-7260's SD card we have a working 
configuration that connects.

Our TS-7250 on the other hand will be using the minimal system that 
comes on the 32MB flash.  It doesn't use the /etc/network/interfaces 
file, instead it seems to use /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-*.  I have made the 
following guesses on how to make things work:

/etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-cingular:
----BEGIN----
DEVICE=ppp0
PROVIDER=cingular
ENABLE=yes
-----END-----

/etc/ppp/peers/cingular:
----BEGIN----
#Cingular connect
/dev/tts/4
230400
user 
password CINGULAR1
defaultroute
noipdefault
remotename attws
ipparam attws
usepeerdns
crtscts
lock
noauth
local
persist
novj
novjccomp
nodeflate
nobsdcomp
debug
logfile /modem.log
ipcp-max-configure 20
maxfail 0
init '/sbin/modprobe ppp_async'
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -V -t3 -f /etc/chatscripts/chat-gsm1'
-----END-----
And the approprate chatscript in /etc/chatscripts/chat-gsm1.

What do I place in ifcfg-cingular to make this work?

Are there kernel modules that I have to install first?  I don't know if 
this is relevant but when I type:
%pppd call cingular
it responds:
----BEGIN----
pppd: This system lacks kernel support for PPP.  This could be because
the PPP kernel module could not be loaded, or because PPP was not
included in the kernel configuration.  If PPP was included as a
module, try `/sbin/modprobe -v ppp'.  If that fails, check that
ppp.o exists in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net.
See README.linux file in the ppp distribution for more details.
-----END-----

There is no ppp.o module, but the other ppp modules are there just like 
in the Debian 7260 case.  Unfortunately modprobe -l doesn't work in 
busybox to tell me which modules are loaded.

Hopefully that's everything.  If someone can point me in the right 
direction, thanks.
