 Well, the auto answer switch, (if your modem is working right, which it
doesn't sound like it is) will indeed, like all Hayes modems, answer the
phone line, depending on the S0 register, which indicates the number of
rings to answer on. ATS0=1 would answer on the first ring. ATS0=255 would
answer on the 255th ring. ATS0=0 would not answer.. So the DIP switch is
just a hardware switch for that Hayes register. It has nothing to do with
the answer/originate.
 I don't know why the modem is not dialing. The only reason I could think
of is that it just is not working. You you using the direct Hayes 
command? ATDT 1234567?
