No case of this has turned out to be any problem with the PM. That error
means the PM was doing what it was supposed to, trying to send data, and
the pipe was blocked. It doesn't, and can't, indicate where the problem is.
It can be either of the modems, a problem at the telco, possibly a short in
a cable, the UART on the PC being too slow, or the package on the PC itself
choking on somehting - lots of possibilities.
