Are you saying that when you have voice mail, and pick up the phone to make 
a call, you hear a "da da da da" before you get a dialtone?

Russ's answer might work, but I'm not sure if the central office is would 
notice the modem's dialing tones before it has presented you with a real 
dialtone.  Maybe put a delay in your dialing prefix string that is longer 
than the notification tones (da da).  You should be able to use a few commas 
each of which IIRC represents 3 seconds.
