Just a heads up for your MC7710. They run in two modes>DIP and QMI
QMI is proprietary Qualcomm Modem Interface. It is not supported by FreeBSD and the modem will not work
DIP is DirectIP for PPP which does work.
There are 2 ways to switch them. One via AT Commands and the other a Sierra Windows utility that modeswitches it.
The other way is to flash the wanted firmware. There are separate DIP and QMI firmware. Once again Windows required.
