You will have to have some knowledge of the protocol used by the modem - 
typically Hayes AT (http://www-dcg.fnal.gov/Net/HYSTRM20.TXT) and then 
look out for the termination characters (; <CR>) before you call write() 
again. You will probably want to implement a time out using 
reactor.callLater()  together with a state machine.
