Yes, but the problem is figuring out the commands that need to be
issued to configure the device appropriately.

I found this document:
<http://wwwu.uni-klu.ac.at/agebhard/HuaweiE220/>
that, although it talks about Linuxy stuff, it contains some chat
scripts at the 'PPP configuration' section that should be useful.

Greetings,
