Looks ok to me.

> 3. If it is detected, do I need to start a daemon for it?

No.

> 4. What is the recommended way to check that the card is working

try 'cu -s 9600 -l /dev/cuaa4' 
Then try and give it some AT command - ATZ or something. 
~~. to quit.

You can use that device in your ppp.conf as usual, follow the handbook in
this regard.
