That 'T 115200^M' is the tail end of 'CONNECT 115200'.. it got the
connect just as it redialed.
The modem simply isn't connecting within 20 seconds. Change the
timeout to 30.
Oh, and since this is a 486, make sure it has a decent UART instead of
the 8250 junk many systems of that era came with.

Hey, we have a good one. (Heck, if people ask nice, I can be pestered
to provide Linux support, even dealing with odd things like evil PCI
modems that live on funny IRQs and need to be setserial'd to behave
right. If MS can tell people to ask their ISP why they can't print,
then I should do the same for our Linux users... :))
(And, no, I don't do Windows support... 'format and install linux' is
supposedly not a 'proper' answer for some reason and I have no idea how
to use Windows.)
