Yes, using ECM over PPP would be preferred, definitely. Now, the Quectel
plugin in MM doesn't have any custom support for ECM setup, and that would
need to be implemented. Being a Quectel modem, have you tried to set it up
in QMI or MBIM mode instead of ECM? MM already supports QMI and MBIM so you
would not need any additional change in the code to support those modes. If
the Quectel modem you're trying to use does not support QMI or MBIM, then
updating the Quectel plugin to support ECM would be best.
