Basically you need to (as root) add your user to the dialup group.

grep dialout /etc/group

man addgrp --gid ??? your-user

Even on a dialup system, it is advisable not to break the basic system security. it isn't so long ago that dialout malware was common (albeit no on *nix).

While you are at it, try
less /etc/group
and see what other groups you might also want to add your-user to,
e,g audio, cdrom, floppy, tape, sudo, scanner, saned.
