For USR modems it may be used to ignore dial tone absense. For your modem maybe too.
Check the documentation.

You mean, your modem session is as follows?
at
OK
atdp 12345
<silence>
Check minicom settings, maybe it tries to use wrong modem device (/dev/ttyS0 for ex.,
or even /dev/cua).
You can also try to send commands directly to the modem:
echo "atdp 12345" >/dev/modem
Though, I don't know if it'll help because you cannot hear tones. By the way,
can you turn tones on? Try AT L and/or M command for this.
And one more advice: you can try to fetch the correct init string for your modem
from Windows settings (check modem's .inf file or suchsome).
