Brian...Had the same problem here a few weeks ago you might try some of the init strings found at
 
http://www.motorola.com/networking/products/sm56_ac-l/index.html
 
I finally got the modem to connect about 7 out of 10 trys. Thats the best we could ever do.

I am having some clients report that they are having problems connecting
with Motorola SM56 modems (we are on DSP 2.0.51).  Has anyone else seen
this? any known fixes?
