>From the IRC discussion (And from a private discussion between me and
ab) I understand that in order to maintain 2 connections, the modem
should be able to dial a 2nd MMS connection without disconnecting the
previous one. I'm not sure this is possible but I simply do not know.

I never received an MMS while connected via GPRS with my Symbian phone
so I don't know.

Of course if the modem can't dial and maintain 2 connections then the
remaining solution is to disconnnect GPRS, connect MMS, send || receive
then reconnect GPRS.
