It kind of does but cuaa0 and hangs infinitely using prompt. cuaa1 is
unrecognized. Kindly inform if any ideas or upgrading to newer BSD
gets preferred where function may be solved.

Possibly you should be using cuaU0, but since you haven't mentioned what
version of FreeBSD you are using, it's hard to say. A Dell U5520 is
mentioned three times in the u3g(4) source, so maybe that applies.

DragonflyBSD says Dell 5520 compatible with ppp and my spec
http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/user/delld830/ with
many thanks for informing now version is the Dragonflybsd entering
either infinite loop with cuaa0 or fails with cuaa1 this message sent
from same hardware which works with linux, so it's doable and just
matter of know-how..
