IMO people are missing the point. AT emulation is ugly and _should_ not be done except for compatibility reasons (perhaps in can be done in userland?).
Out-of-band control of modems is wonderful, I have access servers which allow this to various degrees and it truly is very useful. The Lucent modems also do this under Windahs, quite neat... (you can see speed changes, modem parameters, etc. without interrupting the data flow).
