A modem I got 16 years ago could be configured for either Hayes
compatibility or CCIR compatibility (which used a totally different
syntax for its commands).
 
Some 20 years ago, non-Hayes compatible modems vere not uncommon.  In
general, these modems had no command set at all.  So you had to dial
the number manually on your phone, and when you heard the modem
signal from the other end, turn on your modem and hang up your phone.
