Hi Erik.

Is AT*B a valid command for your modem ?  You probably need to check your
modem command reference because if it's not valid then it may invoke a
crash.

Thanks for your advice. I tried minicom and it worked fine until I issued an
AT*B command which provoked an error. After that I have not been able to
send commands any longer to the modem. Minicom just hangs and do not accept
input. Have you experienced that before?
