Turn on modem logging.  Then examine the log file.  I do it like
this via a 4dos alias, and the 'type' command guards against a
grep that tries to open files exclusively for read/write
(Borlands). YMMV.

and the result, right now, has the last few lines:

(example lines quoted to avoid line wrap).

The last connection is complete, since I am off line right now. 
This is what allows me to comfortably use the cheap time limited
ISP service, 150 hrs/mo for $15.

The log file should show all the command mode communications to
and from the modem, but not the actual data transfers.
