Normally there is no prompt. Just the cursor. If you are not seeing any characters on the screen, it may be due to the fact that your modem is not set to echo commands. You'll have to consult your modems command set for the proper command to set echo on. Another possibility is that the modem is no on sio1. If it's an internal PNP, it may not be configured properly. In other words, the sio devices shown in dmesg are just the com ports. On my box, with a supraexpress isa pnp, the modem is on sio2. If it's external, check to be sure you are connected to the proper com port. Someone else may have a better idea...these are the problems I've encountered.
