I think the best that hal can do is to mark all CA-42, DKU-2, etc
devices (detected by interface class == 2 and interface subclass == 2,
no hardcoding of interface numbers or vendor/product ids) as generic
v.25 modems, and let the applications figure out additional command
sets, if they need them, by either asking the user, or sending AT
commands to the device.

Here's some discussion on DKU-2 phones which has a similar problem
(unable to distinguish between GSM and CDMA):
