What does it mean "fails to activate modem"? Could you be more
specific? A bit more detailed issue description will be helpful if
someone faces a similar case, even possibly with another modem model.

Whether the modem does not respond at all or it is unable to establish
a new data connection? Did you try to purge the modem clients list and
then reestablish the connection?

As already mentioned by Piotr, resetting the modem on each connection
establishing attempt is overkill. Did you consider using a hotplug
script to reset the modem after the initial detection?

With a hotplug script you even will be able to reset only a specific
buggy modem model and reduce side-effects.
