My experience has been that connection  problems are often because of a less than
appropriate initiation string.  Search for and experiment with different init strings.  Also,
check with the Diamond-Supra web site and also with your comm software's  mfr.
to see if there is an updated modems information/data file available for your modem.
I got faster connection buy updating my Procomm  Plus 3 modems.dat file which I 
downloaded from the Daimond-Supra site.
