If you are using it in DOSBox then the reason it works seemlessly is because 
the virtual modem in DOSBox will automatically resolve the phone number to an 
internet address.

If Terminate was talking to a real serial port then it would not know how to 
dial a network ddress, and you'll probably get a NO DIALTONE straightaway.
