When I sync threads and wating for a thread to finish (like dialing to modem)
then my user interface is stuck. What can i do to release it?

Release which one?  Maybe specifiying the timeout when calling Join (do you
call Join?) is sufficient. I wonder why you wait because the other thread is
there not to have a locked user interface. You could wait on another thread,
but I don't think this makes sense. Depends on what you wanna do. In other
words, how do you expect the program to behave?

You can't block your UI main thread or you user interface will be
non-responsive.  Instead you should have your secondary thread notify your
main thread using Control.Invoke method.
