I have been using the proxy in my own extremely hackish perl test
scripts.  This isn't something anyone should use as-is, but might serve
as an example of how to use the proxy without libqmi-glib (or even C):

https://git.mork.no/wwan.git/tree/scripts/qmi.pl#n2636

Please don't laugh at my perl code... ;-)

Precisely.  It's a very simple interface.

I also started on the attached implementation for uqmi a long time ago,
but never finished it...  Lost interest since it mostly makes more sense
to run a full fledged ModemManager on emebedded devices too.  Those that
are not powerful enough are just not interesting ajnyway.

But attaching as a semi-working example implementation
