Have you tried using "cu" directly? In other words, not autodialing.
I used to work in Ft. Huachuca, AZ. and I know how loooonnnggg it
can take to connect with FTS lines.  Try this command (assuming your
modem port is /dev/ttyc0):
	$ cu -l/dev/ttyc0 -s1200 dir
Notice the keyword DIR.  When your connected to the modem, set the
timeout on the modem by using appropriate modem commands (I don't
recall what they are for a Hayes), but it can be done.
