I have had the same problem from one site but not the other with the
same modem, he same ISP, but a different dialup number, and a
different computer, same Internet setup. Sending a ping every minute
made no difference. ISP and telco were no help but I have been told
that it is a known vice with the Dynalink 56k/V90 flex modem.
An older modem at the same site never disconnected, and the Dynalink
never disconnects rom the other site. Maybe higher performance modems
are more sensitive
All the same, ask telco to check your line, and consider not using any
splitter to plug the phone into the same line. Cordless phones are
more likely to upset modems.
And before anyone attacks their keyboard telling me they have no
problem, please DON'T!
Regards
