Try "kermit", "cu", or "tip". To use "cu", create a file
/etc/uucp/port...

port modem
    type modem
    device /dev/tty00
    speed 57600

then "cu -p modem"; 'AT' and so on. Type '~.' to exit.

If you can talk to the modem, but the chat script still times out, try
letting chat bang on it a couple of times (some details omitted).
