Seems simple to me.  discover what parameters the
PABX xwants - probably something like 9600 speed, N, 8, 1.
I'd also delete all the modem setup and reset strings.

connect the linux box to the PABX, and use minicom set to the
right port and speed and so on and see if you 
can talk to the PABX.

Once you have the linux box chatting to the the phone, you are
set.  Plug your linux box xinto whatever network you have that
you are telnetting via, telnet to the linux boxx, and run
minicom from your telnet session.

minicom comes with the redhat distribution.
