Greetings,

Saw this semi-related post[1], posting separately not to hijack it.

Searching marc.info for "cellular modem" on misc@ archives
finds mostly old, and posts about using mobile phones as
cellular modems.

Are there standalone cellular modem devices known to work
with OpenBSD?

Multi-Tech's QuickCarrier USB-D[2] caught my attention.

Not OpenBSD per se, but I've been using the following Huawei device (via wifi) with great success:
http://consumer.huawei.com/en/portable-internet/mobile-wifi/tech-specs/e5220-en.htm

Basically it sets up a wireless hotspot so as long as your device has a wireless NIC you can have 3G connectivity.

FYI, I just tried to see if USB tethering is working on this device but with no luck. Looks like the device ID is unknown(?) Anyway, dmesg and the "usbdevs -dv" output are available below. I also disconnected and reconnected the device so you can see what it spits out on the console.

HTH,
Stijn
