HUAWEI E169 Modem
I decided to get a Huawei E169 with a 3 contract to allow me to have mobile broadband.
The scripts that I use with
/usr/sbin/pppdare shown in [1] and are available as text files txt/three and txt/three.chat.
Here are some notes to getting it working with OpenBSD.
Nameservers: 4.2.2.4 and 4.2.2.3
To send text messages directly using AT commands:
Connect with cu:
cu -l /dev/cuaU0 -s 115200
Need to get text mode
AT+CMGF=1then to send SMS
AT+CMGS="+44xxxMobilexxx"
> Type your message!!
Ctrl-Z
The > will come up automatically.
