CLICK!

The PPP computer was dialing out on the same line as the ADSL.  Normally, 
such voice activity should not affect the ADSL modem, which uses  
different frequencies to the normal modem.  After all, one of the sellings 
points of ADSL is that you don't need a separate line.

I've logged a call with my ISP.
