Don't know about the 3G stuff, but a Nokia phone with GPRS that my boss
uses asks - on connecting the laptop - whether I want the computer to
connect to it as a storage device. You have to *deny* this to get a
connection as a ucom* - you then can use it as a normal modem.

If I accept instead, I get a umass and can access the storage card.

Both methods work with NetBSD (at least) 2.99 or later.

Does this ring a bell?
