You might want to use the connect command to connect to the modem port. For example to connect to port 1, from thePortServer TS prompt:

#\> connect 1

atd…(modem commands)

[ .

This will use Control left-square bracket, period to disconnect from the port and return back to the PortServer TS prompt. Then you can exit and close your telnet session.
