This all sounded like fun so I thought I would try it out.

I got some parts working...

pppd call gprs makes a successful connection after putting in a
sensible value for the "AT+CGDCONT" line in the connect chat script
(but that was probably obvious to others), but it doesn't add a route:
# route add default gw 10.6.6.6

I get an annoying reject page from the proxy I have to go through though :(
$ http_proxy="http://202.139.83.152:8070/" curl google.com
