@vick: what software do you use to handle 3G connection through
GobiNet module instead of using wvdial/pppd with qcserial module ? Did
you code something by yourself or are you using a code from someone
else ?

I still cannot success to connect to my device through GobiNet/GobiAPI
but maybe your method can help me.
