Depends on the kind of voice commands this modem uses - you might be able
to use one of the existing drivers, just teach vgetty to recognize this
modem.  Maybe you need to write a new driver... - first step: find out the
commands that your modem uses.

Interesting.

Call Kortex, and tell them you're going to return the modem unless they
release the command specs or a Linux driver.  Vendors have to learn that
"undocumented commands" are a thing of the past.

I have never seen such commands before, so that's something very
untypical.
