[CentOS] External Dial-up Modem

I am having an issue with Centos 6 and an external USRobotics modem.  We
use the modem as part of a last resort SMS paging system.

 

Across multiple Dell servers, different models, I can't not get the
modem to respond to simple AT commands while using Minicom.  At the same
time if I connect the server to a console port on a switch I can
successfully access the switches serial console.  So I know the serial
port itself is working.  The modem still works fine if connected to a
Centos 5 server.

 

Any thoughts?
