Hmm... so DUN would manage AT command sets and initialize the modem for
you, so that the program doesn't have to?  Or maybe it's just using the
DUN to check the modem's port...

A proper windows program would use DUN to find modems, although any
other program for any other OS would actually probe the COMs and find
the modem manually.  Like on linux. *sigh*

Maybe try installing M$'s DUN 1.3?  Or, you could contact wine-devel and
actually write a patch that fixes this, if you know how.  Maybe look at
the debug logs, and see what needs to be made and write the patches for
Wine.
