It is essential to ensure that the G.711 protocol is used throughout the entire path between the mailbox and the user, as it is the only one that operates without data loss. However, packet loss remains a problem, especially for connections faster than 9600 bps.

There is an even better transmission protocol specifically for modems, but I haven't found a provider that supports the G.150.1 protocol, and both ends would need to support it.
