None of the modems seems to be behaving abnormally at this end.  The
modems maintain a record of total connection attempts and successful
connections, and both numbers for all modems are fairly close.  Which
means there is no one modem that is seeing a large fraction of failed
connections.

I recommend lowering your modem's DTE rate (aka serial port speed,
aka COM Port speed) to 9600 bps and retrying.  If that works, try
a higher speed, and so on, until you find a speed at which you get
good connections.
