I do, and it works ok both from NM and cli (through wvdial).

However there is also https://forge.betavine.net/
Could you show some steps? after plug this USB modem in, I got message

NM does not show any response.
That one is the Huawei E620 USB modem (grep -i huawei -A 5 /var/lib/misc/usb.ids)

As root, you will need to run "wvdialconf" - this will create a "/etc/wvdial.conf" file.
You will just need to update the "Phone", "Username" and "Password" entries.

Here is how my "/etc/wvdial.conf" looks -

[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 9600
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
ISDN = 0
Phone = xxxx
Password = xxxxxxx
Username = xxxxxxxx
Stupid Mode = On

thanks, my modem is E620 too. after activated, i was give

account number 4000xxxxx
MSISDN 0451xxxxxx alike mobile number
pin xxxxxx

which of these is phone, password and username in wvdial,conf

thanks for your help

I had to put in the "Stupid Mode = On" line myself. The other lines were put in by `wvdialconf'.
Note: I am using the Huawei EC1260 USB modem, so your "Init1" and "Init2" strings may come
out different.

I am using an older NM (Network-Manager) where dialup is broken, so can't help you there.

Regards,
Didar
