wine users - Dec 2011 - Accessing a Modem / Dial-up telnet connection

Hi Mr newbie here.  Using 32-bit Ubuntu 11.10 and Wine 1.3.28. I have installed
a Creative PCI Modem and that works well as /dev/modem from things like putty. 
I've done the link ln -s /dev/modem ~/.wine/dosdevices/com6 so it's now
my com6 within wine.  However, using teraterm the response from the modem is
bitty and slow and pretty useless.  If I do something like AT\r the OK\r does
come back but very slowly. I can make it dial a number but you cant see the
connect or login message properly and you cant use it.

Any ideas?

Cheers - Rich

Isn't there a native Linux dial-up terminal program?
