Some of us who used to use AOL would say that's one and one-half, but what the heck... ;-) Seriously, have you been able to test dialing up other local numbers with the modem to see if you get the same results? Maybe even get another friend to let you try to use Zmodem or something with manual control of the modem to dial their phone/modem. Another thing to check which I've done (when my modem would have connection difficulties) is to use Extensions Manager to turn off modem, TCP/IP and Remote Access and then restart and turn them back on and restart a second time. And/or trash the prefs files for those and/or those for Internet CP prefs. Sometimes flaky things go away when you ditch the preference files (or course, make sure you write down how all those settings are, and yes, it is a pain). Just a few suggestions.
