Voice commands for USB modem?

I have a USB modem that I got with my Macbook Pro. The modem claims to be a "Motorola SM56 USB 1.5.9" but I can't find out much about that modem. Apple claims that the modem supports V.253 protocol which includes voice but the modem doesn't seem to understand any of the voice AT commands.

Is there some way to find out what AT commands this modem does support?

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

Your post does not answer my question. First of all, it's out of date by a couple of years. Second, it doesn't address the voice commands since PPP doesn't use the voice options. Third, it doesn't list the AT commands that the modem actually supports which is the question that I asked. Fourth, I know how to use Modem AT Commands - I want to know which ones this modem actually supports since none of the voice AT commands I tried worked.

Sorry about that. I didn't read the article. Then I would suggest that you call Apple tech support & ask them.

You can find a list of the supported commands in this PDF:

At best... I know absolutely nothing about modem commands... so I apologize if this isn't what you're looking for.

Yes, I have that document. That lists the commands that the modem should support. The modem doesn't support them all, or at least some of the ones that I've tried under the voice commands haven't worked. That means the modem actually only supports a subset of the total number of AT commands usually supported by Motorola modems. I'm looking to find out if there's a list somewhere of the commands this modem actually does support.
