This is usually when the modem drops the line because it can't retrain
to a decent setting. Could be your modem or the ISP's, and can be due
to a poor line quality in the first place or someone picking up a
phone on a shared line or some other disturbance. Make sure you don't
have an init string that has told the modem not to retrain below a
certain speed. (Use "AT&F\n" only, unless you know other stuff is
needed.)
As someone said a long while ago on this list, if it drops out like
this without warning you can load a terminal program and type
AT&V1 <enter>
This should get you a report of a load of figures, including the
reason for the termination. "Local request" is you or Genesis asking
it to hang up, "retrain failure" is due to a bad line, etc. You can
also have an idea of what your last, and best, transmit and receive
rates were. For UKOnline I tend to get 26400 Tx and 49333 Rx,
dropping to 47000-ish, usually reliable for at least a couple of
hours.

I'm not so sure about this, but if your modem is retraining a lot you
may never have sufficient stable bandwidth to work with. If that is
the case, the cure is to fix the root cause of the poor connection. If
you have too many connections in V (the bank of lights in the
bottom corner) it wont help matters. I have settled for the default
of eight.
To an extent you can expect timeouts for some sites which have loads
of ad banners and other rubbish which may be coming off slow and
overloaded servers. Most sites, especially big commercial sites and
your ISP's home page ought work fine.

If you're really desperate to see it, try highlighting all of the html
and copying to the clipboard. Use a text editor and paste the text
into it and save the file. Then open that file with V. I've never
tried that, but I think it would work. Perhaps there's a simpler way?
