In unix, echo is terminated with a new line character (line feed to the rest
of the world). Hayes modems need a carriage return before they recognize
a command. So, you could try:
	echo "ATDTmumble\r\c"
The \r gives you a carriage return and the \c suppresses the line feed.
[If you're now using a shell script to dial your modem, then never mind. . .]
