Why use pppd from ports?  The native /usr/sbin/ppp is usually more
convenient.  The following config file works with Vodafone 3G/gprs.
Note that the '2g' configuration is useful while roaming - the card is
inclined otherwise to lock onto a 3g network that doesn't support data
roaming in preference to a 2g network that does.  The '3g' configuration
is for normal use 'at home'.

2g:
 set device /dev/ucom0
 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
 add default HISADDR
 set phone "*99***1#"
 disable lqr
 set timeout 0          # Disable timeout
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \
           \"\" AT OK-AT-OK AT_opsys=0,0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 60 CONNECT"

3g:
 set device /dev/ucom0
 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
 add default HISADDR
 set phone "*99***1#"
 disable lqr
 set timeout 0          # Disable timeout
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \
           \"\" AT OK-AT-OK AT_opsys=3,2 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 60 CONNECT"
