I don't think it's not a keep-alive issue because it happens
right in the middle of a download.

There's no login mechanism at all, really. As far as AT&T is 
concerned, there is no computer other than the gateway because
I'm running NAT.

I don't think that's it, but I'm a broadband newbie, so I won't
rule it out.  

Thanks Brian.
