I assume you then did an AT&W, and your dialscript starts with an
ATZ (or &W1 and Z1) if not those settings will be ignored.

It's also worth checking what the actual defaults are, you could
well find that most of the above two are default....

Several possibilities, all covered by the demon.tech.modems FAQ
(see my sig...) ask in demon.tech.amiga about any Amiga/Demon
_specific_ stuff, otherwise use d.t.m.a

Basically it's most likely down to one of

a) overruns (use SanaIIMeter to check for them) 
b) modem retrains (use Term to check for disconnect results)
c) Demon/modem incompatibilites (V90 doesn't yet work fully) 

If a/b aren't the problem, then the sol'n to c) is either

1) try a different Demon number to dial (they use different
hardware and firmware versions)
2) get a new version of the modem firmware
3) wait 'til Demon get a version of firmware that works with your modem.

You should also try limiting the connect speed (this could solve
problems with either a) or b))
