get a response of "NO DIAL TONE DETECTED"
make sure that you have x3 in the intialization or dial string for the modem. most modem are made with us phonelines in mind. their dialtone is different than ours and hence its not recognised. setting x3 will put the modem into blind dial mode which will dial without checking for dialtone.
first make sure that the modem is able to hear the line...you can do this by using minicom and sending ath1 to the modem. you should be able to hear dialtone thru modem speaker.
