Yes I hear the brief dial tone. Modem speaker is on, I guess if you can
hear the noises.

Silly question perhaps, but when you initiate the dialup, is the modem

on, and do you hear a brief dial-tone before the dialing commences?

If not, then the prime suspect is the cable between the modem and the 
telephone socket.
