It almost sounds like expected behaviour for the conditions you describe. I would suggest the following although I'm not sure it would help. 1. Under the energy saver preference pane (options tab) in OS X; make sure the checkbox for "Wake for administrator access" is checked. 2. Under the "Advanced" tab for the Classic preferences, make sure the slider for "put classic to sleep when inactive for" is set to "Never"
I have a cable modem at home so I never use my modem so I don't have a way to compare my system to yours. Maybe one of the above will work for you.
