I haven't used a modem for a long time now, but you are right about the
wvdial configuration file /etc/wvdial.conf, from there you can set the
volume either by 
SetVolume = 1

or specify the appropraite modme command in the Init string such as

Init2 = ATZ&L0

now, you still need to do a bit of homework and verify the above :)
