Oh! Thank you! This does indeed bring up the channel. After opening 
nonblocking and writing ATD *99***1# to a muxed channel the modem sends a 
modem status command message with DV bit set.
This does in fact mean, I can only use the mux in nonblocking mode. Does this 
make sense ? Why can't I use a muxed channel with blocking IO ? I could do AT 
commands over the mux channel and the DV bit is not set (and thus TIOCM_CD is 
not set) and the modem (and the mux line discipline) is fine with it.
