Not good. Let's see what the log file says.

Uh.  Please do NOT remove the time stamp - to diagnose certain timing
issues, it's very important to see the time in the log file lines.

What kind of modem is that?  Could you please send me the output
of "mid ttyS1" ("mid" can be found in mgetty/tools/mid), or manually
the output of all ATI, ATI1, ATI2, ... ATI10 commands?.

Up to this place, everything looks fine.

But then, data stops coming in.  Could you look at the modem lights
and the log file ("tail -f logfile") in parallel, to see whether you
can see a certain pattern to it? OH LED going off, or something like
this?

Does it happen every time, or only sometimes?

Do you have the very latest modem firmware from ELSA?
