Hi,
I'm using Snow Leopard (10.6.2). The installation was straight forward, no issues.
I connected and the traffic started counting with a rate of about 4-5KB/sec (both ways) and it chewed up almost 1MB in about on minute.
I did a tcpdump on the interface and:
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on ppp0, link-type PPP (PPP), capture size 65535 bytes

And continued with a lot of similar traffic.
I tried with a Vodafone SIM which worked out of the box, with the Telecom settings!.
Traffic was idle after connecting and a tcpdump was very quiet:

Any idea what could cause this?
Thanks.
