| PLEASE SEND ANY REPLY DIRECTLY TO ME.  I am no subscribed.
| 
| BACKGROUND:  I have SPRINT PCS VISION phone that can be used to connect to 
| internet via USB.  It acts as a USB modem and I used the directions on the 
| page below to get it working.
| http://www.natecarlson.com/linux/sanyo-4900.php
| FreeBSD seems to recognize it as a USB Modem.
| 
| <dmesg snip>
| umodem0: SANYO Electric Co. Ltd. SANYO USB Phone, rev 1.01/0.00, addr 2, 
| iclass 2/2
| umodem0: data interface 1, has CM over data, has break
| device_probe_and_attach: umodem0 attach returned 6
| ugen0: SANYO Electric Co. Ltd. SANYO USB Phone, rev 1.01/0.00, addr 2
| </snip>
| 
| So I repeated created the needed pppd and chat scripts (replacing the 
| /dev/ttyACM0 in linux to /dev/umodem0 and run pppd.  And I get the error 
| message below.
| "Failed to open /dev/umodem0: Device not configured"
| 
| Is there some initialization process I need to do for usb modems?  How are ppp 
| connections done on regular USB Modems?  Is there supposed to be a some sort 
| of tty device?
| 
| TIA,
| Tomoki
