Robert
Thank you very much for your help.
I had downloaded the application and installed it. So far so good.
What I can't figure out is why Apple don't address these problems - I
recall there was an issue with Safari timing out after 60 seconds which
they did not fix until after a third party came up with a solution.
It seems to me that they assume everyone lives in a perfect world with
A1 internet access. Unfortunately this is not the norm for most of the
world. - doesn't say much for their business acumen.
Once again thank you for your help.

A known problem, you are not alone. Download a small app called "End
Hanging Disconnect", get it from Version Tracker or similar sites.
This will fix it for you I am sure. If you can not find it let me
know and I can send it to you. I have never had to use it but I have
seen on many occasions on different lists that it works.

Description of App that Peter refers to above : NOTE THE LAST PARA :
" End Hanging Disconnect "
is a Mac OS X application that will force-quit the infamous "endless
disconnect" that can sometimes occur on dialup Internet connections.*
Download End Hanging Disconnect (24 KB)
(for Mac OS X only)
This version repeats the killall command 5 times (with 5 second delay
in between tries), since the first try frequently does not end the
pppd processes.
*I suspect that this problem probably has to do with the phone
company's installation of "MUX" (MultiPlex) boards along phone lines.
This allows them to run more than one customer's data through a
single pair of wires. Some modems are more sensitive to this "MUXing"
than others, and unfortunately, recent model Macs are particularly
vulnerable in this regard .
