I think the basic connection will be from a telephone that supports tethering. We expect that to be supplied by the local user. It would be connected to the USB port of the openSUSE computer.
I do something like this all the time while traveling. You don't need to use USB cables... it's easier than that.
Not a laptop. They are rack mounted computers. They have USB so that it perhaps easiest. Unless different phones are different. Then maybe a USB wireless dongle that we supply would make things easier.
Without knowing your environment, that sounds to me like the option most likely to succeed. When the operator plugs in the USB modem, have your system auto-dial to a preset number and voila!
