Using the framework over SIM800L PPPoS or TCP connection ... #33

This is not an issue. My apologies if I ask my question here.

I found your very nice framework which covers the needs for a project I am working on. The specific question I would like to ask, if it would work using a a SIM800L GPRS data connection, instead of WiFi. My project is currently working with the @loboris MP build which is stale since 2018. I am facing some problems which require me to move to a more updated build. As Hardware backbone I am using the T-Call-SIM800. Some of my problems are related to the RTC in the ESP32, which you have addressed in your build, and some other fixes I am sure would be beneficial as well. Basically, I am not sure if your v1.12-tve2 or 1.13 build with your MQTT implementation will work with the underlying connection established by the SIM800L. It is my understanding that the @lobo implementation implies C level integration to make it work over PPPoS. Not sure if your build does something similar or assumes to have a full TCP/IP stack available as is the case with WiFi. I sincerely would appreciate your insight and suggestions to this question, as I am excited to try out your framework. Thanks in advance.
