I don't have any documentation handy for the DF03 modem I have used either,
but I know that there are several configuration DF03's.  They are generally
0-300,1200 baud.  Some have autodialers in them, and are much less than
smart modems (ie. they have little if no "brains" in them).  If your
modem does have a dialer, it is initiated and ended with some control
sequence (I forget it now).

The pinout on the "cable" is standard RS232, and should be easy to get hooked
to a UNIX-pc.  I suspect you'll only be able to use it for dial-in though.
You'd be better off using the on-board modem on the UNIX-pc than the DF03.
The DF03 really gives you no extra features than the one in your machine
already.
