SUMMARY
The Dial option may be unavailable in the Phone menu of Windows Terminal if you have Carrier Detect selected in the Communications dialog box under the Settings menu.

Carrier Detect uses the modem signal to detect a carrier signal. When Carrier Detect is selected, Terminal uses the carrier detect signal to determine whether the modem is online. When Carrier Detect is off, Terminal looks at the modem response string to determine if it is connected.

If your modem still isn't connecting after correctly setting the other options, clear the Carrier Detect check box to use Terminal's method and try connecting again.
