3G/4G&LTE Base HAT intermittent working

I have a 3G/4G&LTE Base HAT attached to a Pi Zero W running Pi OS Lite 12-02-2021 Buster with all updates. Some boots I can go into minicom to bring up cellular via ECM with command AT#ECM=1,0 but often I am unable to issue commands in minicom. If I cycle power enough times it eventually works. A difference I can find is this line in output of “dmesg|grep tty”

[ 7.778384] systemd[1]: Created slice system-getty.slice.

When this line exists, it works. Any thoughts? See full output below:

Thanks,
Dave

I just saw where minicom is not working despite this line being present in dmesg. I am still curious what is causing this sporadic failure of the cellar?
