I'm not really sure what you're trying to do, but I guess you want to have the computer dial and then use the voice phone, maybe over the computer speaker. I sometimes use this for checking voice mailbox messages, but you can also use a regular telephone handset after the computer dials. You'll probably need to search/google for the appropriate AT commands for your modem and/or telephone host system if you want to do anything fancy. I sometimes need to dial in spite of a "pulsing" dial-tone due to pending messages, suspend call-waiting interruptions, etc., and there are code sequences to do those kinds of things. The main "trick" in using the computer as a dialer is to end the AT command sequence with a semicolon (I think) in order to return the modem to "command mode". Otherwise, the default behavior of the modem is to progress to negotiating with a modem on the other end, with all the funny-sounding tones and beeps. In general, I find it's best to first figure out how to do something manually, as you're doing with wvdial or minicom, before trying to automate it.
