I had a similar problem. It happened once in a while. I finally made
a simple change & it has not happened since. I changed
'' AT&F1M3 to '' '\nAT&F1M3\r'
TIMEOUT 30 \
ABORT '\nBUSY\r' \
ABORT '\nNO ANSWER\r' \
ABORT '\nRINGING\r' \
'' '\nAT&F1M3\r' \
'OK-+++\c-OK' ATH0 \
TIMEOUT 30 \
OK ATDT$TELEPHONE \
CONNECT '' \
ogin:--ogin: $ACCOUNT \
assword: $PASSWORD
I think (?) the modem needed the CR to kick it in the butt.
