I have pcomm up and running on Sun 3/60 SunOS 4.1.  You don't say how you
try to manually dial.  I just select a blank line in the dialer menu, which
gets me a connection to the modem line.  I then have direct access to the modem
and do whatever commands I want.

Be sure and set the blank line with the your needed baud rate, etc.  Just
don't enter a phone number.
