If you are desperate and you only need to send few bytes, you can always
edit a file manually with ghex or khexedit, open two terminals, put the
port in raw mode, cat the file to the port in one terminal and cat the
port answer to an other file.

stty -F /dev/ttySx raw baud parity etc

cat /dev/ttySx > answer (in raw mode, it should wait for the answer to
come)
cat command > /dev/ttySx

Except from that, I think I remember kppp allowed to send command to the
modem but I haven't used it for years. Minicom maybe?
