If anyone is interested, tried it again today, using 11.2 RC1, and 'it
just works'. Well, its a bit of a pain working out what turns the
different networks on and off but at the moment, I'm switching between
wifi and 3G OK. And, unlike doz, I dont need to click anything that says
'dial'. I'm officially impressed.

Do you have an application that counts the volume of data? Ideally by
operator or APN as I use several SIM cards.

I've tried vnstat but can't get it to work.

And *that* was going to be next question - no, I havent, and yes, if
anyone knows of one, I'd like to hear about it.
Not sure about this, but can't Wireshark do that? A bit overkill...

I ought to qualify what I said about vnstat. It works, but I have to
start/stop it manually - I can't get it to run automatically - either
with CRON or the daemon. It's probably something simple.

It outputs stuff like this:

wlan0 / daily

day rx | tx | total
------------------------+-------------
27.06. 26.85 MiB | 2.71 MiB | 29.56 MiB %%%%
28.06. 134.85 MiB | 13.11 MiB | 147.96 MiB %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%::
29.06. 48.01 MiB | 6.57 MiB | 54.57 MiB %%%%%%:

Obviously, you need it to report on the ppp link.

umtsmon looks nice but AFAICS from the screenshots doesn't report usage.

OK, I'm happy to show my ignorance - what exactly do I do with said
script?
I sawed it as something.sh in ~/kde4/Autostart and then checked it as
