Update: the RELENG_6 machine is my gateway. I am now connected to the
internet via the E220:
root at kg-omni1# ifconfig tun0
tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	inet 89.8.89.95 --> 10.2.1.5 netmask 0xffffffff 
	Opened by PID 46510

The main problem wasn't in geting the E220 working, it was with me
remembering and re-learning about ppp, dns, firewall and stuff.
Man, how much I have forgotten over the years!
