Issue: sudo pppd call gprs connect script fails
Setup: RasPi 4
Operating System: Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
Kernel: Linux 5.15.84-v7l+
Architecture: arm
Details: I just unboxed a brand new RAK2013 module and want to use it to establish a ppp connection that I can use for mobile internet. When running the sudo pppd call gprs command, the script fails:
~ $ sudo pppd call gprs

RAK2013 is powered on and connected to the RasPi via USB. LED indicators are blue and a blinking red. I am located in USA and am using an iBasis eSIM. Any helpful tips to get this RAK2013 up and running would be marvelous!
Thanks.
