Do you have a phone on the same line?
I was suffering a similar problem with my dialup account (it was disconnecting after about 20 min all the time). I discovered that apparently some older touch-tone telephones can cause enough interference on the line to cause a disconection. After I removed my telephone from the double adapter I was using to split the phone line I had no problems.
Cheers,

Hi sluggers
Someone may had the very same modem problem listed below.
IE a "^@" sequence sent from the remote end. (ISP=bigpond)
I am running RedHat 9 and having trouble with frequent unexpected disconnections with a bigpond dialup account.
Have tried different dial up 56 external modems with the exactly same problem.
The hint given belopw is for some reason always a "^@" sent from the remote end.
I nearly always get cutoff within 15 minutes, although the longest is about 35 minutes.
Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks
Roger
