The problem here sounds suspiciously like the problem I've reported using
Ascend Pipes. The bottom line (in my situation) was that BACP is broken
in it's current state on the PM3. A 2 channel connection will come up
fine, but if the second channel is dropped for any reason the dialing,
BACP-enabled router will NOT be able to reconnect it. Of course this is a
beta, so you can't really complain... nevermind it's been in beta for
months and months with no end in sight.

(I run b13, but have seen no mention of BACP fixes in any versions since,
and don't feel like subjecting myself to modem issues with later betas.)
