Could you put commas after the dial-up fax number? They add 2 seconds
apiece for delay. The modem's S8 register says how long to delay for
the comma character (",') in the dial string. The default is 2 seconds.

Don't try changing the S8 register unless you are familiar with modem
commands. Just try adding one, or more, commas to the dialing string
wherever they are needed to wait long enough for the fax machine at the
other end to start its handshaking tones.
