I post this since it might be something for the FAQ list :-)

The older Racal modems use ENQ to get the modem's attention.  That is,
type Control-E and hit RETURN.  You will see the modem respond "Hello.
I'm Ready" followed by a "*".

This is Racal's command prompt.  Type "?" or "P" to get a menu of the
possible commands.  On my Racal-Vadic VA212, they are:

*?
MENU:
C     CHANGE OR CLEAR MEMORY
D     DIAL NUMBER
H(C)  BACKSPACE
I     IDLE
K     PAUSE
L     LINK
M     MEMORY
O     OPTIONS
P,?   PRINT MENU
R     REDIAL
S     STORE PHONE NUMBER
T     TABLE OF OPTIONS
1-15  PHONE NUMBER ADDRESS

And away you go!
