How do I dial using external modem

[Pete Clapham]

Yes.  I was able to get it to work in Xandros, but there doesn't appear to be a way to dial the modem in Ubuntu.  I am assuming that either I need to insert an ATDT command in some on-line command or that I need to mount a USB modem.  Grateful for any insight you may have.
 
Thanks.
 
cheers,
pete

likely), wheredoes the external modem attach?  Do I need to do a mount to
/dev/modem?And if so, what am I mounting? Thanks.cheers,,pete
