It shouldn't break SMS since MM will do SMS via QMI, but yeah for now
it'll break voice because that would happen via QMI too, and we haven't
implemented voice for QMI yet.

--help-messaging
--help-sms

Also available via D-Bus of course.

That requires a TTY that would spit out the GPS data; in this mode MM
only sends the start/stop commands, and what comes out the GPS TTY is
undefined (at least by MM).

So unless you know that one of the 6600's TTYs does GPS and in what
format it does GPS, then no.

Doesn't --location-get-gps-nmea work for you?  That will spit out the
latest NMEA traces MM gets from the modem, if it supports NMEA.  I
believe --location-status will tell you what methods MM supports with
the modem.

Also available via D-Bus of course.

Yes.  When the modem is driven with QMI, then all the data comes from
QMI.  For other modems (like Huawei HiLink and Gobi 1000) the enabling
commands are done via AT on the main command port and then one of the
TTYs starts spewing out NMEA.
