Not yet.  The ATDT does "tone" dialing using the same tones as the keypad 
on a touch tone phone.  Here in the US touch tone is usually an option.  
If you don't have it you have the old pulse dial phones.  Most modems 
that support the Hayes command set can be directed to use pulse dialing 
with an ATDP command.  You might try that.

I'd also try connecting to the modem with tip or cu or better yet bring 
up MacOS and use something like Zterm.  See what the modem responds to 
and figure out what you need to send it to get it to work the way you 
want.  From that you can construct your own script under NetBSD.
