No idea. "Erdtaste" is something really weird - you do a short circuit
from one of the A/B lines to ground. Decent modems have flash (a short
short circuit between A and B), but I know of no modems with "Erdtaste".

GVCs should work - pretty standard Rockwell modem, but a good one.

I have no idea how the GVC's want to be told about "Erdtaste", but for a
generic modem, it is not possible.
