I've got one too. Nice, isn't it? :-)

Since it's a software modem you need a driver for it. Luckily there is a
binary driver for it - http://www.linuxant.com/drivers
A word of warning though - it's not 100% stable. It's generally OK but
it doesn't play well with sleep. Make sure you disconnect and run
hcfusbstop before sleeping (I've got that in /etc/power/pwrctl-local).

wvdial and kppp will be fine once you have the driver working (though
wvdialconf won't pick it up).

I haven't attempted this yet. I think maybe it's possible on a monitor
but not to TV. I seem to remember something of the sort on this list a
while back - you could check the archives.
