Ah, they want you to debug for them for free. If the client is big
enough, then, yes, do complimentary service. If not, then just upload
an encrypted zipfile to OneDrive (or whatever), and tell them to download.

There is no other internet connection. We've been given a host name, not
an internal IP address to connect to. We're also hearing that we're the
first folks connecting via this ultra-locked down LTE network for IOT

PPP does not require a dns server address to be provided.
But most folks do provide one because it would make for LOTS of support
calls to not hand out your DNS servers.
Is there a DNS on the network that your connecting to at all?
If not then you wll likely be forecd to use the /etc/hosts file to add
in the IP addresses of the target systems.
