cu command without the phone # it connect and
when type the number manualy it works.

Try this instead.

# cu -s9600 -l ttyts19 << EOF
9057886789
EOF

See if that dials.

If this were me, I would disable the port for uucp/cu and instead use Kermit with a command file. It's actually much easier to mange the tty ports using Kermit. Man kermit for details. Plan B. Do a search for "setport" which is a utility that will hold a tty port open; you then simply issue echo statements redirected to the tty port.
