Good old zterm:

Open it up, set the appropriate port, and enter "ATZ" + Enter, you 
should get "OK" as an response. However, when your modem gets fried by 
a line surge, it usually still responds to the commands - the problem 
is that it cannot connect because it is not the logic part that gets 
damaged, but the circuitry that interfaces with the analog phone line, 
and there is no more connection there. Modem basically acts as if the 
phone cable is unplugged.
