I just installed OpenBSD 4.5 i386 on my Lenovo X61s Thinkpad, and even though dmesg shows that it detects the internal Sierra Wireless MC5725 Cell Modem I am unable to get ppp to dialout on it. The modem is activated and was able to connect using Verizon Wireless software in Windows, the option "do not disable when application is closed" was checked, and the LED is on which means it should be powered on under OpenBSD. The modem detects as:
umsm0 at uhub5 port 1 configuration 1 interface 0 "Sierra Wireless, Incorporated Sierra Wireless MC5725 Modem" rev 1.10/0.02 addr 2 I've read the man pages for umsm devices and have tried to setup ppp using the devices /dev/cuaU0, cuaU1, cuaU2, cuaU3, as well as others cu* devices, but it always fails to dial. Here's my ppp.conf file: evdo set device /dev/cuaU0 set speed 230400 set dial "TIMEOUT 30 \"\" ATZ OK-ATZ-OK ATDT\\T TIMEOUT 60 CONNECT" set phone "#777" set login set authname ######...@vzw3g.com set authkey vzw set timeout 12000 add! default HISADDR enable dns This config worked on a PC card Pantech modem and was able to dial up to the Verizon network, so I would think a similar one would work with the internal Sierra Wireless one. I've also tried to troubleshoot ppp manually by using it interactively and issuing AT commands, but whenever I enter term mode it doesn't show appear to do anything except when I do a ~. to exit. Here's the ppp log when I do: sudo ppp -background evdo Jun 10 19:25:42 navi ppp[8362]: Phase: Using interface: tun0 Jun 10 19:25:42 navi ppp[8362]: Phase: deflink: Created in closed state Jun 10 19:25:42 navi ppp[4413]: Phase: PPP Started (background mode).

I would appreciate any help, thank you.
