absolutely unqualified here, but this is typical of an isp who has set the 
keep-alive wrong. I'ts not retriggering on icmp requests to port 110, just 
ignoring them.

try activating a program like licq. If the line disconnects after (say) 10 
mins of just licq. it's an isp issue. If not, keep licq running and read your 
mail, if it doesn't drop out, it's *definitely* an isp issue.
