A system and method for enabling the use of popular serial networking application software (24) to transmit PPP packet data via a CDMA type subscriber device (30) to a network such as the internet (22). One or more reserved phone numbers is stored in memory (54) within the subscriber device . The networking application (24) is provided a telephone number to be dialed in order to make a connection to the internet. The telephone number provided to the networking application is compared to the stored reserved telephone numbers. If there is a match, the subscriber device (30) transmits a CONNECT signal back to the networking application and initiates a packet data call. If there is no match, the subscriber device (30) initiates an asynchronous data call.
