Why don't you try adding a wait or sleep command to the chatscript just
before the dialout, or try a comma (,) between the numbers to see if it
helps. It may be just sending the data too fast.
Also. Normally at&f doesn't reset the modem. It resets FACTORY DEFAULTS
which can be off the wall and slow down or stop it from functioning properly
until you get a good init string in it. ATZ re-initializes it to previous
settings. AT&V will show you a list of the current settings on the modem.
This is if it uses the Hayes command set (Hayes compatable).
