I know a whole while back we tried unsuccessfully to use an UMTS "stick"
to test data services, but never got it to work. We saw the same: smart
phone works fine, UMTS stick fails to establish data.

You might be onto the reason there, would be great if you could help us
resolve this!

I don't really know and would have to look into it in detail.
It would be great if you could try to understand what's going on from
traces and/or openggsn code and/or openbsc code...

Maybe we somehow send the wrong or incomplete configuration and maybe
smart phones have some magic to work around it, which UMTS sticks don't?
