I have an MC7700 QMI modem.

Is it possible to use PPP on it or does it only work with the DirectIP version?

Thank you,

With QMI mode, one AT command port is available where we can perform PPP dialup.

But reminded during data session, the port will be occupied and no longer to accept AT command at same time.

I have had seen people try to get a PPP dial up connection working with an MC7700 but have expereinced problems, it is not recommended to use this method, DirectIP or preferably QMI should be used.
