You probably checked all this but I'll throw my two cents in.

To dial you have to the CD-ROM in you drive.  Unless you found a hack for it.

The game is device independent for the modem, so it shouldn't matter what 
type of modem you have as long as you turn error-correction and 
data-compression off, plus it helps if it is a hayes compatible.

Make sure you have the baud rate to 14400 or lower and make sure Call has 
been selected in the list box.

Then you have to have the number entered into one of the boxes not sure 
what one it is but its the first box.

Then make sure you have the proper COM port selected... (not your mouse port, 
 I've seen people doing this so thats why I say it)

Then select 'OK' and you should be fine...

But if not, try using the command line 'DLINK'.  So at the dos prompt type 
WAR2 DLINK

The dlink enables the faster serial communication software for the game.

If this still fails then well...  buy a new modem :)
