What about "self memory" modems ?

Hi,

I'm using mgetty/vgetty for a while, and it's really a *GREAT* package !
But, to be able to receive the callerID, I decided to change my modem from a
USR  sportster flash 
to a Kortex Kaptix.

mgetty still works ok, but I have two problems:

*  with vgetty:
The voice modem isn't detected (I've looked into the sources, and I guess I
have
to create a "kortex.c" file in voice/libvoice, with the appropriate "AT"
commands... and all the stuff...).

* I also want to retreive messages and faxes stored in the modem memory
(when messages received without vgetty).
I have a win program (blah!) which seems to do this, so I think it's
possible to do so under Linux.
I discovered (looking to exchanges logs) that commands such
AT|BUTTON=1
AT|UPDATE
AT|FREE?
AT|USED?
AT|EXIT
...
where send to the modem.
I tried some of them in minicom, and they give info about memory used,
number of messages ...
BUT they are not documented !! either in the modem manual, either in
Kortex's web site's tech docs.
And I can't try all possibilities and syntaxes, and I have not the commands
to play or retreive the stored messages.


So, before  starting to hack, I wonder:
1) if anyone has already done something that can help me (even with  an
other model (olitec for instance))
2) where I can get an *extensive* and well-described list of "AT" commands
(IS-101 ?)
3) Where can I get info about these "AT|" commands ? (kortex's tech support
???)


Best regards.
