Chat was really made to use with pppd. Pppd will supply it with the modem
device file that you specified as a pppd argument, and chat needs to know
which device file to use. If all you aren't using pppd and chat but just
execute the line you show above, then the ATZ never reaches the modem.
You may be able to play with command line stuff by redirecting standard
output:
chat '' ATZ OK 'ATDTsomenumber;' OK < /dev/modem > /dev/modem
This should dial and then disconnect. You can omit the `;' and it won't
disconnect but then you'll need to use control-c to stop chat. Also don't
assume that /dev/modem is automatically pointed at the device file your
modem actually uses - although if minicom works there's a good chance
that it is a link to the right one.
