Norbert's explanation makes sense (see link). I use a 56K external modem and have no problems with random disconnects. One possible solution is to try lowering the modem's speed and see if that helps. Minimizing the number of other applications running would also be a good idea. I'd kill anything running in the background except a firewall and anti-virus.
