I assume you're using dialer strings, etc. Can't help you there off hand. However, I've used a feature called 'dtr dialer' in the past. This is where the dialer interface asserts dtr when it tries to activate. If the modem can be configured to dial a number from a bin when it receives dtr (and many can believe it or not), you can then set a 'pulse-time' on the interface. The pulse-time is how long the interface lowers and then re-asserts dtr when the protocol goes down (be careful here to set your keepalive far enough apart that the entire dial process is allowed to take place before the interface toggles or you'll never get a connection!). A one or two second pulse is usually sufficient for the modem to release and redial.
Can't say for sure I've ever done this on an aux port. Async serial ports definitely. Now that I've wrote all this out, it dawns on me to ask whether or not you have any keepalive enabled at all. You might solve the whole problem by adding those into your config. Seems the router would reset the interface once three consecutive keepalives were missed and resend the dialer string. Sorry, I've been out of town nearly all summer and I don't currently have a lab to verify any of this. Just some thoughts...
