I guess so - that's how mobile modems are used. They just emulate
serial AT protocol on top of USB. NetworkManager will generally
auto-detect and configure them.

(A little anecdote - back when I visited Brazil I got to connect a
borrowed usb mobile modem to my Debian laptop and practically seat in
the middle of the Brazilian jungle checking e-mails and even VPN'ing
to my workplace. Ah the good life of a geek :)

I now plan to repeat the achievement with Nokia E71.
