modem disconnects randomly

Comment:

Suddenly, and without any change in configuration my dial up connection has started to disconnect randomly. I have checked with the provider for internet and phone and I am lead to believe that the modem is faulty. Is there any way to check if that is in fact the problem? Someone told me that perhaps I should try to install it again and that pehaps it is a problem with a switch ? Could anyone give me some hand holding? Thanks in advance.

You wouldn't believe it ! Internet explorer has the option of hanging up after retreiving e-mail <hang up when finished> Guess what.... that option was checked; which meant that the connection to the internet ended after the mail was retrieved. Once that option was cancelled, the connection stays on.
