Looks like this might be a line issue. Is this a dedicated/free/working line?
Possibly someone else is picking it up?

Might as well confirm the line - plug a phone into the jack and see you can
dial somebody without errors. I had an old jack with rickety wires and it was
acting something like the above.

This seems to show the modem itself is working.
Also, before you try a second dial attempt, make sure the line is hung up
properly after the first attempt. I don't know the wvdial command for that,
(or if there is one) but I noticed that minicom and kermit both have commands
to allow this.
