It is possible. You should have a trmsvr with modem support...

Start with the following:

On the TrmSvr you need DEFINE PORT x ACCESS DYNAMIC and SIGNAL CONTROL ENABLED
A LAT Service is not really required, but makes sense in special cases.

$LATCP CREATE PORT LTAxxxx
$LATCP SET PORT/NODE=trmsvr/PORT=portname/NOQUEUED
or
$LATCP CREATE PORT LTAxxxx
$LATCP SET PORT/NODE=trmsvr/SERVICE=LAT-Svcnam/NOQUEUED

No SET TERM required, but ...

I use this almost daily...
