Hi!
As I've found nothing nowhere about connecting a Nokia Supernova to Puppy, here's my happy experience. What to do:
Have Nokia phone configured for browsing with your provider;
In phone configuration options, choose 'Pc Suite' in USB cable connections;
Leave the phone turned on;
Boot Lupu 5.2.8;
Plug the phone to PC using standard micro USB cable;
Open a console and type dmesg to see the name assigned to Nokia phone modem (mine was set to /dev/ttyACM0 );
Run Internet connection wizard and choose 'Wireless GPRS modem';
Insert the correct device in modem name ( the dialog said 'your detected modem is /dev/ttyS0' but was wrong, the correct name was /dev/ttyACM0 as said before);
Insert correct APN (mine is an italian phone provider - ibox.tim.it);
Leave the default username and password
Remove phone PIN ( I don't know what it is for).
As phone number, *99***1# was right for me;
Save and run Menu -> Network -> Pgprs Connect.
VoilĂ I was online using my old phone as a gprs modem!!
That was unexpectedly simple, really a plug-and-surf thing...!
