This could still be caused by a hardware problem of some sort - you don't
mention what kind of modem you have doing the dialing, or how it conects
to your computer - if you have some kind of winmodem or internal modem, do
you have any chance of borrowing an external modem and trying with that?
Also, what are you using do actually do the dialing? How do you establish
the connection?

How long {time wise} does it take for the connection to stop working?
