If your phone has IR and supports data, sure, just use it IR style.  
Otherwise, get a data cable, as long as your phone's data capable!
You won't be hooking the phone up to the modem though, the phone will
have to directly support data.

I routinely do GPRS dialup over an IR connection to my Nokia 8390
(GSM on VoiceStream).  Works great.  Now if I can get Bluetooth working
under Linux, I'll switch to my 6310i, and use BT instead of IR...
