hi samokko,

unfortunately this wont be easy:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_3G_Modem
or
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wvdial
and requires modifications on the kernel level (compiling ppp protocol into it).

i would give up unless you are company which could buy a kiosk custom build:

thanks.
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
