kermit supplied ought to do what you want.  To dial, simple type

$ kermit clb /dev/com2pl 2400    (or whatever your modem speed is)
Connected!

then you type:
atdt16125551212    (atdt instructs the modem to dial 1-612-555-1212)

It is that easy!

If you get CKermit (supposed to be on the cohware disk), there are dialers
built in, then you can type
Kermit-> dial 1-555-1212

And kermit knows how todo that.

Good Luck.
