Hi...

Don't know if this applies to your problem, but I hade the same problem,
and with some help from my phonecompany we made it work.

My GPRS connection included this extra dial-string: +cgdcont=1,"IP","internet"
and this gave a working internet connection, but it broke my VPN connections.
The solution is to swap "internet" with "internet.public" in the dial-string.
The reason for this is that some VPN servers require public IP addresses on
the client, and the .public addition in the string supplies a public IP to
the client.
