phones

Hello, I have a Debian Linux system with a HUAWEI e220 on /dev/ttyUSB0. I'd like to make It ring a generic GSM phone for just one time. I'm doing this because I'd like to build an embedded system that fires some special behavior by a single GSM phone ring.

How can I do It?

I've tried wvdial but I receive always a "NO CARRIER" answer when I try to send It an "ATDT XXX-phone-number-to-dial-XXX" command.
