I am running DOS MERGE on top of Microport UNIX System V/386 rev. 3

I would like to obtain or write a short program that can be invoked from
a DOS command-line and/or a UNIX Bourne shell which will take as a
single parameter a phone number. The program will then dial the phone
using a Hayes-Compatible modem and when the phone rings (or better -- when
it is answered) make the computer beep and turn the line over to the 
phone handset for voice communications.

Any ideas on where to find such a program, or how to write the modem
control script?
