Bump the timeout when waiting for CONNECT up to two minutes.  Instead
of the above line, use:
  set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0
OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 120 CONNECT"

This will, at least, ensure that you're not being disconnected due to a
timeout counter.  If this doesn't solve the problem, try a different
(newer model) MODEM on your end.  MODEM incompatibility was a hallmark
of this industry for a long time.
