First of all, you have to know whether your phone is Touch Tone or Pulse.
When you dial a number, does the phone make beeps or does it click? If it
clicks, you have to probably go to the MODEM option in the second to last
menu (I forgot the menu title). Or try the TERMINAL settings. Look for a
line that reads "ATDT". This is for Touch Tone phones. Change it to read
ATDP for your phone. 

Also try to enter commands by hand; instead of using the auto dial feature,
type the command ATDP 5551234 for pulse systems or ATDT 5551234 for tone.
The phone number, of course, is the number you are dialing. 

AT is the command that tells the modem to change something. ATA answers the
phone, ATH0 hangs up the phone, etc. :)
