The 2212 wasn't a BAD modem, but there are so many better modems at 1200 
BPS available now, I wouldn't bother it.  I've seen workable 1200 modems
that are Hayes compatible (At least they have the AT attention command)
for prices well under $50, one for $29.95, that unless you have software
that knows about the 2212, kiss it off.

But if you persist, the 2212 senses baud from the terminal issuing an "*."
with no trailing CR or LF.  Then it's DT for Dial Tone, the number, and "X"
for eXecute.  "," is a pause if I remember.  I haven't played with a 2122 
since maybe 1986 or so.
