If you're just looking to use the N95 as a modem this is possible without the nokia suite on linux. I set that up on my eee pc a while ago with little problem. There are instructions somewhere online.
link here (looks close to what I did)

Wine is a translation layer (a program loader) capable of running Windows applications on Linux and other POSIX compatible operating systems. Windows programs running in Wine act as native programs would, running without the performance or memory usage penalties of an emulator, with a similar look and feel to other applications on your desktop.
So if a program isn't available natively for Linux, you can try running the Windows version using Wine. Unfortunately in this case, it looks like the parts of the Windows API used by Nokia PC suite are either incomplete or buggy within Wine - you therefore can't install/run PC suite within Linux using this method.

Nokia N95 & Linux
Guys, I've got a Nokia n95 and am looking to buy a netbook - has anybody else installed Nokia Suite on a Linux machine and does it work ok?
I'm hopinmg to be able to use my phone as the modem to connect to the internet when out of the office - does this work ok?
Also I'm thinking of getting an Orange broadband dongle to connect - do these work ok with Linux only I've heard stories that they only use Windows??
