I don't know if the Nokia Cardphone speaks some dialect I haven't seen
before, but I reckon the command is
    AT+CPIN="1234"
as in all other similar devices I've seen.

I suppose you could make your computer send the PIN to the device in a
variety of ways. One way is to make the gsmctl command run at boot,
another is to make it run when the Cardphone is inserted into the PCMCIA
slot -- I think this would be the most elegant solution.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you need to put something like this in
/etc/pcmcia/serial.opts:
    ...
    # Extra stuff to do after setting up the device
    start_fn () { /path/to/gsmctl -o pin 1234; }
    ...

If the card is detected as a serial card then the pin code should be
sent when the card is inserted.

Try it!
