In all liklihood the modem's just taking it's time making the connection. See if you can adjust the time KInternet or WVdial waits for the CONNECT message (I don't use them myself). Often these programs by default wait as little as 45 seconds, some modems can take over 60 seconds. Also if you can try a regular terminal program.... (how many times do I have to say this?) try issuing the AT commands manually.
