pon to dial up
poff to hang up
plog to see the log

To dial up as a normal non-root user, you'll need to add that user to the dialup group ("addgroup faisal dialup"), and then log out/log in. This will give you access to the modem device (ie /dev/ttyS0 or whatever).

You can also use graphical tools, such as xisp, which might be more comfortable to you.
