Many thanks, Neil and Matthias, "chat" does indeed seem to work, and I
think I now have a reliable boot-up procedure.

Interestingly, after sending the AT_ORESET, it takes about 15 seconds
for the modem to reset and reappear as a device:

Mar  9 22:33:10 gta04 user.info reset-modem: About to reset modem

Mar  9 22:33:24 gta04 user.info kernel: [   35.118011] usb 1-2: Manufacturer: Option N.V.

So for reliable operation I'm now sleeping for 20 seconds after the
AT_ORESET, before starting connmand and ofonod.

The reset-modem script is attached, in case it's of use.

Regards,
        Neil
