Actually, this doesn't sound too bad, except that your modem decided that
whatever is out there is a "300 baud caller, with no error control".

To avoid problems like this, set up your modem that it will always do an
error-corrected connection (no idea what the command for that is on
Rockwell modems, maybe something like AT&K4 or so - see the modem manual),
so it will report NO CARRIER here.

Also, make sure the modem is set to hang up if DTR drops (AT&D2),
otherwise it might get stuck and won't come back to command mode.
