Francis, Try turning on the "debug" option, and then watch any messages with a command like "tail -f /var/log/messages" which may give you some reason for the disconnects. More information about your system would be helpful to anyone trying to help you, such as what distribution you are using, and what the system messages say. Also, it's likely that someone is dialing the same ISP that you are trying to reach, and may have some insight to a peculiarity of that ISP.
