I had a similar problem a while back and the problem turned out to
be the default flow control setting. Try looking at at&f1 which I
believe forces hardware flow control. Following is an extract from
a backup of the script.

# The following line, AT&F1 is important for the USR/3COM modem.
# If it isn't there, the modem gets all uptight and breaks stuff.
# ISPDIAL       : "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT&F1
