If you edit /etc/chatscripts/provider and look where the aborts are:
jas@golden:~$ more /etc/chatscripts/provider
# This chatfile was generated by pppconfig 2.0.10.
# Please do not delete any of the comments. Pppconfig needs them.
#
# ispauth PAP
# abortstring
ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ABORT VOICE
ABORT 'NO DIALTONE' ABORT 'NO DIAL TONE'
ABORT 'NO ANSWER' ABORT DELAYED
# modeminit
You should be able to remove the 'NO DIALTONE' from the above. Of
course this assumes you are using pon/poff. I assume that other
dialers would have similar configurations.
