Thanks for your help. But before I attempt disabling the cdrom=2C I would l=
ike to mention that I can already see the following devices (with correspon=
ding .init and .lock files) :
cuaU0.0
cuaU0.1
cuaU0.2
cuau0
I am almost certain that cuaU0.0 is the modem. I will try disabling the the=
cdrom and then switch mode.
Thanks again &
Regards

Hi Manish=2C
I seem to have missed the name - Huawei=2C sorry for that.
Anyway=2C this should be easy to resolve - I suppose.
With the virtual cd-rom (da0) presenting itself=2C FreeBSD will assume the =
modem is simply a mass storage device and leave it at that. You need to dis=
able the virtual cd-rom in order to use the modem.
=0A=
=0A=
Use Hyperterminal or putty or minicom (does it still exist?) to disable it.
Here are the AT commands to do that:
1. To disable=3B AT^U2DIAG=3D0
2. To re-enable: AT^U2DIAG=3D1
After disabling=2C you should be able to see a device node for the modem - =
/dev/cuaU0.0 or something. They may be two devices or three. One of them is=
the modem
=0A=
=0A=
And here is a ppp.conf which you can use - just change the APN (safaricom) =
to your provider's APN=2C change authname/authkey and also change the devic=
e to what you'll have gotten from /dev/
=0A=
=0A=
Hope that helps!
u3g:
set device /dev/cuaU0.0
set server /var/run/3g-internet "" 0177
set speed 921600
