Hi Mehma,

You could have taken this first into the Kenyan technical forum -
skunkworks.

Anyway, no problem.

First tell me, which modem is this? ZTE MF192 or the older one? I cannot
remember the model. Having the modem bundled with DIR-412 means these guys
(Orange) already disabled the virtual CD-ROM, right? That is the only way
it would work with the D-Link DIR-412.

If I can get the AT command string to disable the virtual CD-ROM, I am
pretty sure I can help you with a working ppp.conf that would make it work
with pfSense.

I am in Kenya too.
