Be sure to initialize the modem with ATE0 to disable echoing in command
mode.
When the modem drops out, it returns to command mode. Sometimes, however,
it'll splut-out a few characters of garbage.
If the tty device tries to echo that crud back to the modem, and if the
modem is configured to echo it back, you end up putting yourself into
an infinite echo loop, which causes the problems you described.
I used to experience it too; I put ATE0 in uucico's "dial" chat
script and haven't had any hassles since.
