I don't believe any of the Xastir developers have one of these modems. At least I've not heard of any that do.

It's pretty easy though: Take one of the standard scripts for "startup" and one for "stop" in /usr/local/share/xastir/config/, copy them to new filenames (maybe your "callsign.scs"?), then modify them to hold your TNC's commands. You can test each command from a dumb terminal first, connected to your TNC, while you work on the scripts.

Once you have them the way you like, change Xastir to use those filenames instead and you're good to go. Save those files away in a good location in case your hard drive breaks, so you don't have to go through the process again.

If you get something you like, consider donating them back to the project and we can add them to Xastir.
