That may well be the case. There are some firmware commands to control port configuration, but those are can be *very* harmful and we should never be touching them in MM as we risk bricking the device, just like I did to my first UMG1831 with AT^U2DIAG. I think we're screwed here unless we add CnS support, and we don't have docs for that since it's proprietary. THe only other thing I can think of is that maybe it's a driver bug, but if the we have TTYs for all the USB interfaces shown in lsusb, then that's not the problem.
