OK, thanks for this information. I will check this issue with the modem
documentation
and/or manufacturer.

What do you exactly mean with "timeouts"? We have set NO_SYS=1, so there
is no such
thing as OS timeout. Is the PPP part not driven by the TCP main task
tcp_tmr()? Do i have to
call another function for PPP if NO_SYS=1?

I've increased MEMP_NUM_SYS_TIMEOUT from 10 to 50, but receive no
callback either.
