I'm gonna take a wild shot at this=2E
Is it possible your ISP is disconnecting because it can't validate that you
are an authorized user?

Michael, who is your ISP?

>>>
This is for Michael Havens:

The problem is not in the modem or its configuration=2E  I know this because=
 I
have a dual boot system, Windows 2000 Pro and Mandrake 8=2E2, and my 5610 PCI=

modem works perfectly in W2KPro but does what you describe in Linux=2E

So the problem is somewhere after the modem=2E  In other words, after your
modem negotiates a connection with your ISPs modem it passes control to the
OS, which, if it is Linux, tells them to terminate the connection=2E

Sorry I can't be any more help=2E  I never figured it out, and the modem wor=
ks
fine in W2KPro so I went on to other things=2E  I didn't buy a computer to
fuss with trivial things that should work, and dial-up modems have been in
use for a long time now, so they should work in any OS=2E
