Hi,

many thanks for this link and for the valuable info it contains.
I didn't even know about the ati command and will check as soon as I am
back on linux ;)
I knew that there must be a way to talk to modemmanager via dbus and the
linked page confirms this.

But as always it does give specific info on how often modemmanager asks
the modem for new info and how much latency this my app to d-bus to
modem and back communication introduces.

Sounds like you are trying to monitor stuff yourselve, too. Have you
ever tried using wvdial and not using networkmanager/modemmanager with
the sierra? I think I will try this way instead of waiting for a bugfix
on modemmanager.

Funny thing is, that logging status information on the sierra card this
is easier done on windows than on linux.
And it would be a much more portable solution to not indroduce d-bus on
linux side and use serial on windows but use serial on linux and windows
especially as it should be possible on both if modemmanager would not
interfere.

Regards,
Norbert
