@Peter: thanks, so, your device has a completely different firmware with completely different results. In your case we get:
(/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.3) tty/ttyUSB2 primary (/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.3) tty/ttyUSB0 secondary (/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.3) tty/ttyUSB2 data Which is wrong. In your modem AT^U2DIAG? actually fails and AT^SETPORT? doesn't, completely the opposite to what we had in @hanynowsky's log. But the bug ends up being that the modem says the NDIS port is enabled, while it seems it isn't.
