I'm using for years now the u3g(4) driver in 8-CURRENT, 9- and
10-CURRENT; it just works fine with ppp(8) and gives, if the provider
has no bottle-nack in channels, up to 2 Mbps down- and 1 Mbps upstream;
I'm using USB Huawei dongles or USB sticks. There is nearly nothing
magic, it just works: you plug in the key, some devd(8) hook sends down
the PIN to the created serial device, and I start ppp(8) by hand (could
be done as well from a devd(8) hook);
