Default When hangup calls back

WHat is it called when you sometimes prematurely hangup and the phone system
automatically calls you back and tries to reconnect you with the number you
called?

I've had a bizarre behavior with dialup modem where somehow a call from
outside manages to derail my dialup and ring my phone. Perhaps is it some
aggrssive robocalling technique, but I suspect it was bad weather distrubing
my connection and then trying to call me back?

I still haven't observed this carefully enough to figure out what happens.
