This happens with at least one, maybe both, of our TrailBlazer Plus's.  
Each time I note that the modem's OFF HOOK led is on.  Making the VAX
cycle DTR is no help.  The only cure seems to be to power-cycle the 
modem.  We send and receive dozens of calls a day, and this happens maybe
once a month; I have no idea what, if any, sequence of operations tends
to lead to this condition.

(Hmm, it wouldn't take THAT much of a hardware kluge to make DTR
control the modem's power...)
