Found a Howto for this modem on several sites. I use pppd for dialup |
14 |
with a custom script to log the data-volume. |

Here is the link to the Howto i used: |

The only differences i found are that Gentoo pppd don't know the |
18 |
replacedefaultroute argument; just delete it; and SUBSYSTEM=="usb" |
19 |
has to be BUS=="usb"... just did it as he told an everything just |
20 |
worked fine |
