How to enable the Option Globesurfer iCON 7.2 UMTS USB modem on archlinux

1. Install ozerocdoff
2. Install wvdial and pywvdial
3. Install networkmanager if hasn't happened yet
4. create a /etc/wvdial.conf file with the configuration of your provider
5. Make sure you use networkmanager as the only connection manager (e.g. stop wicd, start networkmanager)
6. Start pywvdial as root:

A new network interface will be created ppp0 and networkmanager will handle the rest.

That was it I think
