No there are no new features in the trial firmware. It's purely a bugfix release. So sorry no modem mode.

When I initially signed up for the business service I was told that modem
Mode would be available in the future. However have more recently been to it may never be offered on the business Superhub due to the need for the L2TP tunnel to provide fixed IP addresses.

I have heard one view that the modem side of the device forms the tunnel and another view that the router code does this. If the latter is true that might explain the lack of modem mode.

If used with a routable subnet option though some of the router features are not used. Ie the device is in no NAT mode in this config.
