There is a program called "mgetty-0.99.tar.gz" available at:

        ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de

        in directory:  /pub/comp/networking/communication/modem/mgetty

It will do everything you want.  While intended to work with ZyXEL modems,
it will now work with others (or so I am lead to believe.)

Hope this helps.  (Source is approx 500Kb.)
