Your phone line is not sending dialtone fast enough when hooked up the first time so that the modem "gives up" waiting for it and returns an error. The subsequent times its response time is better so the modem works just fine.

This is quite common here in Brazil.

Try adding "," (in some cases ".") one or two times before the phone number that is to be dialed.
