I do believe that there was a [series of] posts[s] on comp.os.vms quite a
while back on just this topic.  The solution had to do with connecting the
modem to, say a DMF32 port that has modem-control on it (not 2 through 7),
so the modem is on a TXAxxxx terminal (in the same way in which you might
hook up a direct-connect LA100).  The posting also had VMS-specific program(s?)
to utilize the new service.

Unfortunately, I don't have these posts, but I imagine that they might be
either on a DECUS tape somewhere, or in the INFO-VAX archives...
