Could be both.

Modems like the USR Courier or the Telebit FastBlazers can handle bad
phone lines very well -- Rockwelloid usually can't.  I have two modems
for my Laptop - one with a cheap Rockwell chipset, and one by USR.  Guess
which one works a lot more reliable?  Right, the USR.

It's definitely not a *mgetty* configuration issue, because errors in
that department usually lead to "all or nothing" behaviour.

You might play with the modem settings, but that's something nobody but
your modem manual/modem vendor can help you with.
