Connect Iridium 9555 as modem for GribFiles - SailorMacSailface - 2020-05-17

Hello, 
did anyone here successfully connect an Iridium 9555 as a modem to OP to  be able to download GribFiles? 
At the moment I am doing this with another computer and then transfer the files to the OP installation.
However I would like to be able to still get the files, even if the Laptop would die. 

Thanks!

Hello to all,
as Iam thinking of buying an Iridium 9555 sat phone for a blue water passage, I would be interested in above as well.

Is there anything about connecting the Iridium 9555 or Iridium go to openplotter like a smartphone to download Gribfiles?

Thank you in advance
Robert
