Force the modem to transmit with a maximum link speed of 2400 baud.  Some modems accept a command that limits the maximum speed the modem will converse in (V.34 modems sometimes use AT&N3). Some V.90 modems allow you to force the modem into the Bell V.22, 2400 baud mode (try AT+MS=V22B,0,2400).

Modem 'Hangs' after Call

If the call is successful but the modem is 'stuck' after calling the NIST, try turning off DTR. Sometimes DTR will cause the modem to hang-up prematurely not allowing the port to reset.
