The script seems ok, but I'd try, during a day in which you do not work (Sunday), to
leave faxgetty with Server log 0xFFF and with a script that periodically uses the line
and see what happens.

ie:
== chat1
AT
ATZ
ATQ0
ATE1
AT
AT
AT
AT
ATQ1
ATE0
AT+FCLASS=1
ATH0
~.

== test1
while true
do
        cat chat1|while read comando
        do
                sleep 1
                echo "$comando\r"
        done|cu -l ttyS1 >/dev/null 2>&1
 
        sleep 180
done

The look at the log to see if faxgetty regularly regains control of the modem or not,
