John is right, its your ISP. I used to have a problem like that with Netcom, twice a year. Their Support group kept telling me I was doing something wrong. My 'fix' for 2 years was to put my ppp-on into a 'Netcom' script that repeated the ppp-on attempts. It would take anywhere from 1 to 12 attempts before I got connected. The problem would last for a week or two and then, after they got so many complaints, they would fix it. Then I would go back to the normal ppp-on script.
