I'd forgotten about possible use of the "single numbering
scheme" command facility. It's not something I've done myself,
and would depend on whether your carrier supports your making
data calls towards a GSM "voice" number.

It seems that you may be able to set up the default OTA call
type characteristics on the answering modem using the "AT+CSNS"
command.

AT+CSNS=4

sets the default incoming bearer up to "data" in situations
where the incoming bearer is not specified with the call
(otherwise the default will be "voice"). This is consistent
with my getting data calls through to voice numbers using
"AT+CBST=71" on the calling modem, since the bearer information
is undoubtedly passed through in that case.

Wavecom modems seem to offer the

AT+CICB=0

command as an alternative to provide this functionality -
setting up the default bearer type to "data" on the answering
modem.

So it's worth experimenting with "AT+CSNS=4" and "AT+CICB=0" on
the answering modem, as an alternative to trying "AT+CBST=71"
on the dialling modem.

Given your direct connection to a "dumb" display, you'd need to
make sure you can save any required answering modem settings as
defaults. This is especially relevant to Wavecom modems with
the recommended use of the "Wavecom reset", "AT+WRST" facility.

Please let us know how you go with all this.
