command line comm software

[Charles Howse]

Hi,
I'm looking for some command line comm software that will take a dial
string as a parameter, or a way to interact with /dev/modem from a bash
script.

I don't think minicom will do, but if it would, what I need to do is
something like this:

# initialize modem
minicom -init

# dial with minicom
minicom -dial 5551212

# hang up
minicom -hangup

Just simple stuff.  Any suggestions?
