I've dug though the gemalto forums a bit and found that they've hidden the docs here : https://files.c-wm.net/index.php/s/GRPgoz5m7a73c54?path=/pls8/pls8-e/pls8-e_...

als3_pls8_an39_usb_interface_v01.pdf has the info on all the ports the modem creates, and on how to get a connection going.
In Pyraos things work slightly different from the docs, but to get a data connection going :
- Wait for the modem to show up. - Send the following commands to the modem on /dev/ttyACM1 (i'm just using "picocom /dev/ttyACM1")
# unlock sim card (where 0000 is your PIN) AT+CPIN=0000 OK # attach to the network AT+CGATT=1 OK # create connection (use your provider's apn) AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","live.vodafone.com" OK # connect it to wwan0 AT^SWWAN=1,1,1 OK
- exit terminal (on picocom ctrl-a + ctrl-q ) - get an ip address, etc : "dhclient wwan0" - done. check "ip a" , "ip r" and /etc/resolv.conf
