I may be completely wrong, but isn't this something you can do with the
command that you send to the modem, Instead of sending ATDT xxx-xxxx  send
something that sets up a redial mode?

I've been thinking of the same thing, but haven't done anything about it.
If you figure it out, please let us all know.
