I would like a true fix to this problem also.  

A workaround that I have tried with limited success is to program my
Hayes Smartmodem 2400 S10 register (Lost carrier to hang-up delay) to
be fairly long.  (The time is in 10ths of a second, with 14 being the
default.)  Now if a call comes in I generally do not lose my connection.
However, sometimes my communication gets messed up (as though the parity
or data bits settings no longer matched, thus giving me strange characters).
