I don't fully understand your question, sorry.  (Perhaps you should
write it in a private mail to me in Russian.)

Using `cat' to talk to a modem is most likely not very efficient.  Use
a ``modem utility'' instead, for example `cu' or `tip' (both part of
the base distribution, but both require some configuration work), or
`kermit' (you can configure everything on the fly, but it's not in the
base system).

You have to care for speed, modem control lines etc.
