My DSL went down this morning and I needed internet to work. I searched for a config all over but couldn't find exactly what I wanted. After a bit I got mine working fine so I thought I'd post this to help anyone else out there.
I am using a Huawei E1750 on T-Mobile UK running FreeBSD 8.2 amd64. I'm guessing i386 would work the same.
Things to change for others may be device, authname, authkey and the APN which in my case is general.t-mobile.uk
The post which helped me the most was from Greg Lehey that I can't put up since I have not made 5 posts yet
First thing to do of course is: 'kldload u3g' and then plug in the modem.

Background: I have been running Solaris 8 on an Ultra5 with 128MB and 4GB disk for years without upgrade. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Now my ISP has upgraded their software, and no longer talks to my old (asppp!) software.
Sun no longer ships newer versions of Solaris 8. So I bought Solaris... (1 Reply)

ppp
PPP(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual PPP(4)NAME
ppp -- point to point protocol network interface
SYNOPSIS
options PPP_BSDCOMP
options PPP_DEFLATE
options PPP_FILTER
pseudo-device ppp
DESCRIPTION
The ppp interface allows serial lines to be used as network interfaces using the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). The ppp interface can use
various types of compression and has many features over the SLIP protocol used by the sl(4) interface.
Supported options are:
options PPP_BSDCOMP Enable support for BSD-compress (`bsdcomp') compression in ppp.
options PPP_DEFLATE Enable support for deflate compression in ppp.
options PPP_FILTER This option turns on pcap(3) based filtering for ppp connections. This option is used by pppd(8) which needs to be
compiled with PPP_FILTER defined (the current default).
DIAGNOSTICS
ppp%d: af%d not supported . The interface was handed a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address family; the packet was
dropped.
SEE ALSO inet(4), intro(4), sl(4), pppd(8), pppstats(8)
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), RFC 1661, July 1994.
HISTORY
The ppp device appeared in NetBSD 1.0.
BUGS
Currently, only the ip(4) and ip6(4) protocols are supported.
