Minicom will work fine but you have to go through a whole command sequence to 
do it. Minimally:
at#cls=8 --> voice mode.
atdt followed by phone number desired --> to dial
ath to hang up.

If you are running KDE4, check out my phone plasmoid (kde-apps, kde-look). 
This is fairly complete, call histories, quick-dials, local and akonadi 
contacts, etc. Designed for speakerphone modem. However, changing the VLS 
commandto VLS=0 (in phoneapplet.h) may have it work for regular phone. If this 
works, I'll put it in as an option.
