Well, I have something that might work, except you have to have new drivers
(post 1.0) for it to work.  Maybe Jawaid will let me bundle the new drivers
with this program, perhaps?  Right now, it won't do what you want, but
I've been meaning to add some stuff (and Dave Huang has done it, so it's
just a matter of incorporating his ideas into my program).

If nothing else, just set up an alias to echo your init string and a dial
command to the modem port.  The modem will handle the connection itself.
