I couldn't find a way to do this with a commandline tool, so I used xfce4-mixer and checked the Off-hook-box. No success: # sudo wvdial --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56 --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Sending: ATQ0 X3 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ATQ0 X3 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 OK --> Modem initialized. --> Sending: ATX0DT019164284 --> Waiting for carrier.

The checkbox was automatically unchecked when I stopped wvdial and then again checked when I started wvdial once more.
