I have seen two flavors of modem handlers on Ataris:  The R: handler, which
is usually downloaded from the 850 interface or equivalent, and the T: handler
which is usually loaded from disk.  The AUTORUN.SYS on DOS-XL disks just
loads the R: handler from the 850, and won't help if your interface is not
prepared to download.  You did not say if your interface has any recognizable
name.  I would check the disk which came with it for any files which look
like a handler (which you would have to append to any modem program you
want to use with it), and maybe even some documentation.
