Well, when dialing a numeric pager, the DIAL command won't succeed because
it's looking for a CONNECT message (and/or Carrier Detect) from the modem,
which of course never happens if it's not dialing another modem.
I had forgotten that you were trying to send a numeric page. What I should
have done was refer you to:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/pagers.html
which shows you the real way to do this, namely with the PDIAL rather than
DIAL command:
set modem type hayes
set line /dev/cua
set speed 2400
pdial 7654321@123456#
or if your modem does not support the "wait for quiet answer" feature (@):
pdial 7654321,,,,123456#
