Thanks anyway!!

Yeah I thought about this direction too and tried it before.
Unfortunately resettig the modem seems not that easy:

[rallo at six ~]$ sudo mmcli -m 0 -r
[sudo] Passwort für rallo:
error: couldn't reset the modem:
'GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Error.Core.Unsupported:
Cannot reset the modem: operation not supported

Sierra does not offer a tool to do that either.

At least it is very good to know what is necessary to get the modem to
work in theory and I can go on trying to resolve the issue. So thank you
for looking into this!

Kind regards,
Ralph
