Modem disconnects
after a period of time
A timed disconnect setting is causing the modem to disconnect.
Some internet service providers or software packages have a
feature that will disconnect the user after a set period of time.
Either increase this time setting or disable the feature if possible.
Contact the internet service provider or network administrator
for more information.

responding
1 Too many people are using the internet services. Users need
to remember that the internet service provider has only a
limited amount of bandwidth to the internet. If many people
are dialing in, the individual's connect speed will be affected.
2 Check the phone line. The quality of the phone line can limit
modem performance.
