Hello all, 
from time to time one of my machines loses dial-up
connection with local ISP. It appears on non-regular
basis, just at some moment connection "freezes",
however carrier isn't lost, but a number of error
messages from kernel shows up: 

PPP ON localhost> Apr 29 04:14:01 /xeon: sio1: 1 more

And so on. Errors are reported by kernel, so killing
pppd doesn't help, of course. Rebooting is the only
way to go. Had anyone else tried to solve such a
problem?

P.S. COM2 was disabled in BIOS, and USR Courier ISA
hangs on it. Modem is known to work fine.
