Are there any inexpensive 2400 bps modems that have the 'relentless
auto-dial' feature that the Telebit has?

These modems will dial a pre-stored number when powered on, and dial it
again and attempt to regain carrier whenever the line drops.  Useful for
leased lines or connections that you have to maintain over a period of
time.

The Telebit Trailblazer will do this, but that would be overkill for
a 2400 bps connection.  It also will re-dial the number every N seconds,
I think, until it gets carrier.   I guess if you enable this, you had
better be *damn* sure that you have got a live modem number there, and
not some person...
