well, i never saw the original question, but i will offer what i think
is an answer to this situation.  (i had the same problem and it drove
me nutty).

this only works on a hayes (and maybe hayes compatible) modem...

Flash has a command that is only documented in a file on the distribution
disk (i think it was added too late to go in the manual  -- i'm speaking
about the pre-1.5 release).  This command is HG (HanGup modem) which works
by droping DTR for a few seconds.  Ok, (as i found out the hard way) this
only works if the modem has dip switch 1 (i think) set so that the modem
will recognize that the DTR signal coming from the computer (i think this
is up).

I recommend looking on your FLASH disk and in you modem reference manual
to determine if this is correct (especially, if you have a slightly
different system).

Also, i have version 1.12 of FLASH, so this command may not be present
in earlier versions.
