Hi,

it looks like you have problems with your handshake settings, which may
cause a serial line overrun. I would recommend to use RTS/CTS as
handshake
protocol. Check your modem cabel that it connects all the needed pins.
Also check if the ModemSetup commands below are really correct for your
modem.

You should set the ModemResetCmds to "ATZ", so that the modem will be
reset correctly

I think, you shouldn't use Class2XmitWaitForXON here.
