- Chances are that your ISP is dropping you. Many will do this
- routinely. If you subscribed to an "unlimited use" account for
- $20 or $30 a month, be aware that does not mean you can stay
- continuously connected when you're not actually doing something.
-
- A full-period "nailed up" connection will generally cost you over
- $100 a month, more in most areas, less in some. Best you check with
- your service provider to get the true scoop.
-
- You can also interrogate the modem with the ATL8 command to see
- the reason for disconnect.
