I'm trying to send basic commands to and from the modem but I can't seem to figure out how to get the output from the modem device. I can send commands to the modem like so: echo "ATZ" > /dev/modem but I'm not quite sure how to get stuff back I think maybe the output from the modem is being sent to STDOUT its being sent to STDERR??? I don't know but I'm not seeing anything whenever I try and connect I should see "Ring", "Ring".........

Try a prorgam like minicom if you want to communicate with your modem (a bit like hyperterminal under windoz).
Also makee sure that your /dev/modem link is pointing to the correct com port, you may want to try echo atz > /dev/ttyS0 instead (if your modem is on com1)
