I'm not really a modem expert, but the order of commands and
responses seems weird.
Does the timeout occur immediately?

Instead of

--> Sending: ATDP3397395621
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDP3397395621

I would expect

--> Sending: ATDP3397395621
ATDP3397395621
--> Waiting for carrier.
(and then CONNECT <speed>)

So it seems the dialer does not wait for the echo of the ATD
command before starting to wait for the carrier.

ATX does something with the verbosity of the modem, right?
Perhaps it works if you can leave the ATX3 command out.
Or maybe try another dial program.
Does it work if you talk to the modem immediately?

Kind regards,
