If you can make a serial connection to lets say a pc, through a nul-modem
cable, then it wil also be able to connect using modems.
But you need to know what the other side of the telephoneline uses (like
8n1)

ATZ is not used to configure your modem. It is used to reset the modem to
its (factory-)default configuration...
If your modem is configured properly, then ATZ is sufficient to get yor
modem up and running...

almost correct, see above
An init string is depending on the modem you use...
Your connection has to be able to let the user configure it with a dial
string, reset string and an init string. These are mostly used.
As far as I remember correctly...
