Getting the modem working is up to you, but after that it should 
just be a matter of opening the serial port created by its 
driver and sending "ATDT12345551212" or whatever the number is.  

There is a serial port example that comes with Gambas if you need 
help with the actual opening of the serial port, and google for 
"AT commands" if you need help with the standard set of commands 
that modems accept, letting you control the speaker, the wait 
time before hanging up, the response codes, etc.
