	Have you tried a different brand of modem... USRs tend to have 
some small problems with their BIOS chips. The symptoms are usually the 
modem connecting, then dropping carrier for no apparent reason. You might 
want to look into getting it upgraded, usually about $40 or so from 
3-Com/USR. I had to replace 9 of 10 modems that displayed similar 
problems under other operating systems.
