I use the HUAWEI E220 HSDPA USB Modem, and it works really smooth.

Found a Howto for this modem on several sites. I use pppd for dialup
with a custom script to log the data-volume.
Here is the link to the Howto i used:
http://wwwu.uni-klu.ac.at/agebhard/HuaweiE220/
The only differences i found are that Gentoo pppd don't know the
replacedefaultroute argument; just delete it; and SUBSYSTEM=="usb"
has to be BUS=="usb"... just did it as he told an everything just
worked fine
Regards,
Lars
