Ummm....
check the tip file ( I believe it's /etc/remote ) to make sure you'r using
the right device file (cuaa0 for COM1:, cuaa1 for COM2:, etc.)
Then make sure the modem isn't already dialed somewhere else, is connected
to the phone line right, and isn't off-hook.
Then, if you'r doing this as yourself, try it as root; if that makes a
difference, you'll need to play with permissions and/or setuid settings to
make it work as yourself.
