Well, first you will probably want to do "minicom -s" to configure your serial port where the modem is at and so on. This menu should be hopefully self-explanatory. When it says type ctrl-a z for help, you are at the terminal screen. You should be able to type "at#cid1" at this point, and if all is well, get ok back from your modem. If you don't get an ok, type "at" followed by enter to make sure everything is configured as it should be. If you still don't get an ok, then go back, make sure your modem is noticed by linux and working properly, and that minicom is configured correctly. To exit minicom, type control+a, followed by x, followed by enter. Hth.
