You can try do that with kermit, using the following single line in
/etc/inittab:

r2:2:once:echo 'set line xxx\nset baud yyy\nscript ~0 ats0=1 OK -- atm OK\nexit' | kermit >/dev/null 2>&1

For xxx and yyy one should substitute the proper tty port and baud rate,
respectively.  Alternatively, the tty port and baud-rate setting can
be specified in /.kermrc instead.
