2 things you should do if you want to stay nailed up - first is toss that PCTel software modem and replace it with a US Robotics 2977 hardware modem, and set your e-mail program to check for new mail every 5 minutes to keep activity on the line. This still won't avoid disconnects if the ISP has a hard disconnect after so many hours, but the hardware modem should properly release the line when it does disconnect. Make sure you set the dialup to reconnect on disconnection.
