you could write a wrapper script around /usr/bin/cu, which is part of
the uucp package. or use /usr/sbin/chat, which is in the ppp package.
alternatively, open the modem's tty and start talking to the modem.
a very simple outline of the script: start off with an array of phone
numbers, dial them and record any CONNECTs (found one!), "NO CARRIER" or
"VOICE" (good), or "BUSY"/"NO DIALTONE" (try again later).
btw, "NO CARRIER" might just mean that the modem was unable to establish
a connection. possibility of a false negative here.
