Another way, in addition to Frederick's, is to use "kermit".
If you have access to the packages collection, install "kermit".
Then as root run kermit.
Do
set line /dev/tty03 (or /dev/tty00,01,02 for other serial ports)
You may need:
set carrier-watch off
To test the modem do:
connect
Now try using standard at commands.
e.g.
ATZ
will reset the modem
ATDT1234567
will dial 1234567
CTRL together with \ followed by C will return you to kermit.
best wishes,
