I have a Huawei E169 with an Optus reseller and roughly the following
config:  (replace "%%APN%%" with the Optus APN)

network:
 set log local +phase filter connect
 set device /dev/cuaU0.0
 set phone *99\#
 set authname dummy
 set authkey dummy
 set timeout 600                        # 10 minute idle timer

 deny chap

 disable deflate
 disable pred1
 disable vjcomp
 disable mppe

 enable dns
 accept dns

 # Ludicrous number of retries to try and convince it to work without MS NBNS
 set ipcpretry 3 50

 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \
           \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \
           AT+COPS=1,2,"50502",2 OK \
           AT+CGDCONT=1,\\\"IP\\\",\\\"%%APN%%\\\" OK \
           \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

And I have a ppp.linkup file containing:
network:
