Yes, especially since several bugfixes were done that could help solve
the problem (although not sure if they were done in 1.20 or earlier
really)

Also, are you using NetworkManager along with ModemManager? Or are you
running pppd yourself? You must ensure that MM only touches the port
once pppd has exited, otherwise they'll use mismatched CLOCAL flags
and MM may get a HUP when the modem got disconnected from the network
(as opposed to getting a HUP only when the port goes away from the
system)
