Google for wince linux ppp and you should find plenty.  Basically,
make a PPP server on your Linux box, listening on the port your PDA
rings in on using mgetty, or start PPP on that port when you connect
your PDA.

While I don't remember how I managed to do it, I did set up PPP to
make PPP connections act like they're part of the rest of the network,
which is nice because then you can FTP, browse, use smb, etc.
