Assuming you've got the psuedo-device tun compiled into your kernel 
(it's in GENERIC by default) you can use ppp(8):

$ ppp
ppp ON <your_hostname>> set device /dev/cuaa0  [0 == com1, 1 == com2]
ppp ON <your hostname>> term
AT  <-- you type this
OK  <-- modem, if found, responds

See the MANUAL DIALLING section in ppp(8) for more info.

HTH
