Hi Tom,

For the record my Huawei E169 with three works a charm on OpenBSD 4.5-beta!

Pedro's clue was cryptic but pointed me in the right direction. To
connect I type:

/usr/sbin/pppd call three

For the archives my /etc/ppp/peers/three and /etc/ppp/peers/three.chat
files follow - note how the CPIN and CGDCONT fields are commented out.
 The mysecret for chap-secrets was bizarrely the mobile number ....
not the best approach to security.
