I’m trying to figure out whether there’s anything off-the-shelf that can be used for this role? Presumably something that has the ability to control & monitor pppd, and also able to control and monitor the modem via MM.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Should I be looking to use MM with something like NetworkManager, or other [write my own]? (I did look at Connman but that appears to need oFono, which I’ve found to be near-unusably undocumented - I suspect Intel open source the code, but not their docs….)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This is a headless system (is NetworkManager ‘usable’ like this?); the 3G ppp link is needed to be brought up/down depending on other system criteria e.g. if the Ethernet’s broadband router, or even the ISP, falls over. I’d like something as light n simple as possible, albeit the system has udev, DBus and probably systemd.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Any recommendations…?
