Minicom/hyperterminal have always worked for me for both the 675/678.  I think 
minicom tried to send a modem string by default so I would start minicom, then 
power on modem.

After the modem was configured, I could just telnet to it to do any further 
modifications.  No need to dig up the Cisco cable or have a system right near 
the modem.
