Yup, I've never had to deal with them much either.

The first time I ever had to configure something that talks 
AT was with UMTS. I still don't know how I managed to get it
going back then, and when I tried again recently with a different
modem and ISP I couldn't get it to work anymore (I got no IP from
them in the IPCP session for some reason, just DNS servers).

The basic every-day networking skillset in my world involves
wireless and VPNs, not modems.

I still know some people my age who know this stuff though,
so not all is lost just yet, don't worry :)
