Francisco, if you can connect, but it takes several tries, you might try
changing your modem initialization string. I have a Cirrus Logic chip
that would connect, but often taking several redials. I looked up
"modem initialization string" in Google, and visited several sites that
had several different strings listed for my modem. I started trying
them until I found one that really works. Now I can connect first time,
every time. Worth a try!
