OpenBSD/UMTS with Fonic Surf-Stick (Huawei E160)

After getting me a new UMTS stick to be able to go online even when there is no WLAN available I stumbled about a thread at misc@ which helped me a lot. Basically you only need to create the following 3 files...

/etc/ppp/fonic.connect:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

chat -vs \
        ABORT 'NO CARRIER' \
        ABORT 'NO DIALTONE' \
        ABORT ERROR \
        ABORT 'NO ANSWER' \
        ABORT BUSY '' \
        at OK \
        atz OK \
        at+cpin=**** OK \
        'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","pinternet.interkom.de"' OK \
        'atdt*99***1#' CONNECT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/etc/ppp/disconnect:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

chat -vs \
        ABORT 'NO CARRIER' \
        ABORT 'NO DIALTONE' \
        ABORT ERROR \
        ABORT 'NO ANSWER' \
        ABORT BUSY '' \
        '\K' '' '+++ATH'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/etc/ppp/peers/fonic:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cuaU0
connect /etc/ppp/fonic.connect
disconnect /etc/ppp/disconnect
#460800
nocrtscts
xonxoff
#mtu 576
#mru 576
:10.0.0.1
noipdefault
ipcp-accept-local
defaultroute
usepeerdns
novj
nobsdcomp
novjccomp
nopcomp
noaccomp
noauth
nomagic
persist
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't forget to replace the **** in the /etc/ppp/fonic.connect script with the pin of your SIM card!

Now you should be able to connect using UMTS with this simple command: 
pppd dial fonic

If you want to drop the connection a simple pkill will do: 
pkill pppd
