Alex,

I don't know this card and as the manufacturer website is too much flash
infected, I'm unable to get more card infos. Anyway, I've been able to
get other (similar) cards working (Novatel, Option), we should also get
this one working.

Please give me the following information:

`kldstat'
`usbdevs -dv'
a complete dmesg may not hurt also

Also I'm wondering if you're able to get any response from the card by
using comms/minicom? Try an 'ATI' and see if the card is responding.

If that's the case, please try decreasing the tty speed for ppp (test
with 38400 for example) and see if you're getting results.

I'm wondering if you're trying to connect to a GPRS or UTRAN (3G/UMTS)
network as the dial string should be '*99#' for these networks (all
around the world but YMMV depending on network operator).

As soon as you've got the card working without your system locking up,
you may want to include 'set cd 30!' into your ppp.conf as ppp is unable
to detect carrier with most modern 3g cards w/o that instruction.

Please come back to me with the requested information, I'll have a look
and tell you, what to do next to get your card working.

BTW, mobile@ would be a more appropriate mailing list to ask this kind
of questions.

Volker
