i included them in my first post on this issue on 8/15/2016 (in case it
snuck by you and you'd like to look at it).

my MM debug log is here:  http://pastebin.com/ev8TGi8J

I can also order and send a gobi 3000/mc8355 to you for testing if you
have a compatible laptop (they are cheap). If you find that's needed,
just let me know and send me a mailing address and it will be so. :)
