Does it hold out for the duration of your time online or does it still quit responding?
Do you know what modem you use? Brand and model?
The device manager will only judge the present state of the modem, so the unit could fail and the device manager would not know better.

It's an internal modem, Peter. Device Manager says (for whatever it's worth) "This device is working properly."
After removing the check box for TCP/IP and restarting the computer as you suggested, I received the following message: "Cannot connect the phonebook entry. Error 720: A connection to the remote computer could not be established. You might need to change the network settings for this connection....
I checked the box for TCP/IP again, rebooted the computer, and was able to make the dialup connection.
