I tried this. I fought long and hard to find a manual for this X-Link. I
went to www.xlink.com.au and the website has broken links galore so I
whois'ed the domain and called the owners and they barely know who
X-Link are and I got a name from them and he wasn't around, etc... I
rather get this Webexcel working though instead of the X-Link but at
this point any of the two will do.

Yeah, I tried a few different output devices... internal mic/speaker,
dialup line + {int,ext} mic/speaker, etc... none worked. The modem
errored on the init commands every time for every modem.

Yep, dialout as a regular modem is fine. I've not tested any of its
voice capabilities yet.
Thanks for your reply Grant.
