There is a simple solution to this problem.

What you want is no codes for login and codes for dial out.

So set the modem to default to no codes.
Then is the dial out string for the number change the mode to
send result strings for that call only.  This is done by setting
the modem to reset on each call to the EEPROM values.

If you cannot put the codes directly in the dialers file, use a
dial prefix that includes the codes.  I will not belabor how
to use dial prefixes for this as this has been discussed just
recently on the net here and in comp.dcom.modems
