But you might get lucky. Try this: - disconnect the modem from the USB port - as root, enter 'kldload umodem' - reconnect the modem If the modem now registers as umodem0 try using it with ppp. If it does work, you just need to make sure that umodem is loaded during boot. You can do that by either compiling a new kernel (add a line 'device umodem'), or by including the line 'umodem_load="YES"' in /boot/loader.conf. If it doesn't work though I can't help any further, sorry. Good luck, and let us know the results!
