connecting to remote equipment using modem

i have some very old remote equipment that can be dialed into using a modem
(at 300 baud!!!)

it then works as if you were sat at its serial console.

how would i go about emulating a VT100 using my modem so i can call it and use its console?

I like minicom for serial terminal emulation.

it looks like this cutecom is basically the same as minicom but with a GUI. it should work quite well.
