Thanks Paul,
That is probably it, it operates through a switch board so there might be times when there is no line available and it goes 'idle'. It has only happened 3 times over a 3 month period.
I'll check out the ipcop homepage

 Not sure if i can be of much help, i have had recient experence with ipcop,
and have it working with dial-on-demand as well
 
 I have found that ipcop will put the modem into an 'idle' state if it tries to
connect and no connection is found, or if it is connected, and the connection
is broken (ie. unplugging the modem)
 I think it would be possible to monitor the connection state, and if it goes
idle, automatically put it back into 'waiting' mode.
 There is some info about this on the ipcop home page.
