I'm not yet convinced that NM is cleaning up correctly or something like
that.  But yeah, my 627 only seems to survive one connect and then some
short time later after disconnect, the firmware dies and it drops off
the bus.

I just did some fixes largely based on Rick's prober patches.  If you
can test at all, please let me know if that makes the modem detection
more reliable for you.

Thanks,
