Hi, Ive tried using your configs and the other pppd methods, but failed to get any to connect. Only just checked out the presentation slides suggested so I will dig out through the logs and try to figure out the connection.
Right now I can connect through manual ppp(8) dialing, as in the man page. While SSH and ftp connects are working, I cannot get through to anywhere with a web browser and attempts using cvs leave the connection hanging. Anyone have any ideas? TJ On Mon, 16 Feb 2009, Stefan Sperling wrote:

The ISP was three.ie. It uses pppd(8), so run 'pppd call three' to connect. Note that you need this patch if you don't run -current, otherwise the modem will only attach very late (about 30 seconds after being plugged in): http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/dev/usb/umsm.c.diff?r1=1.34;r2=1.35 See also http://www.hazardous.org/~fkr/openbsd/openbsd_gprs_umts.html, especially the slide set linked there: http://hazardous.org/~fkr/talks/gprs_umts_talk_lf2006.pdf You don't need to configure any kind of authentication for the ppp session. I could not ping the other end of the peer-to-peer connection, no IP was assigned to the other end. However, simply setting a default route to the local end of the peer-to-peer connection (i.e. pointing to the local ppp0 interface) was enough to be able to connect to hosts on the internet. The DNS servers three gave me didn't respond. You may need to use some other well-known DNS server instead. For this reason, if you connect for the first time, it's handy to have the IP address of my.three.ie handy in order to be able to top up. That worked for me with firefox after I had figured out the pppd part (which took me, like, 2 days.... :/ ) Oddly enough, even if you did never top up yet, you can get one packet through to the internet and get a reply packet, after that three starts dropping your packets. This allowed me to issue a single DNS query to a nameserver the IP of which I know by heart to find out the IP of my.three.ie. :) Please keep any further questions on-list, umts stuff is not well documented so it's good to have this in the archives.
