Excellent that you got it working!

You can do something like this:

sudo ip addr add 10.115.4.111/32 dev gprs0
sudo ip route default via dev gprs0
sudo sh -c "echo nameserver 82.132.254.2 > /etc/resolv.conf"

Warning: completely untested! Be careful with the commands above. And
please note that IP settings most likely change during every gprs
connection.

ip command is from package iproute. Alternatively you can use ifconfig.
