modem init string from wvdial

[jmu0]

Hi,

I am trying to create a command-line phone dialer to use in a php app.
when using wvdialconf, it creates this wvdial.conf file:

[Dialer Defaults]
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = 12345
ISDN = 0
Username = user
Init1 = ATZ
Password = pwd
Modem = /dev/ttyS6
Baud = 230400

when I enter wvdial on the command prompt, it works. wvdial is for connecting to the internet. i want to establish a voice call, so wvdial has to hang up after dialing the number. it isn't build for that.

My question is: How can I put together a init string i can send to the modem like this:

$ echo [init string] > /dev/ttyS6

if I only do: '$ echo ATDT123456 > /dev/ttyS6' nothing happens.
if I send above int1 and init2 strings to the modem i get an error message: command x doesn't exist.

I tried this with a UCOM nordic v90 and a U.S. robotics 56k external (serial) modem.

I got it working with a kermit-script:

#!/usr/local/bin/kermit +
SET LINE /dev/ttyS6
DIAL 0123456789;
ECHO OK
EXIT
END 0

install the package ckermit.
save this script in a text file and run it ($ kermit filename)

any better / faster solutions?
