I had the same problem (using a USR sportster modem). The fix was to change
the initialization string of the modem.  I changed things too many times 
to be sure of the exact problem, but I'm now initializing with ATZ after 
writing to NVRAM (AT&F1&K0&W0    sent from minicom).  diald didn't like 
the string AT&F1 in the chat command line.  I don't know how similar your 
modem is.
