i have all the hold and other things turned off so it wont just disconnect.
the strange thing is i think some sombich was trying to hack me, i installed a firewall and so far it hasn't done that again and i have been connected for over an hour.
that would be funny , connection so slow that if some1 tries to hack it it just hangs up, connected at 24.6kbps at the moment.

if you had to instill the software for it, thats a bad move
tip.
1.) unstill the software for it totally unstill it.
2.) restart your system
3.) system will see it ask to locate the driver for it.
4.) have the Cd in the drive, let windows search for the drivers for it.
5.) after it finds them to instill, it may ask if it's ok to instill unsign drivers? ok it.
6.) restart computer after your done.
7.) setup your account and password and set the dail-up speed to 57600 and not any higher. you find you can stay online longer like 2-3hrs phone comanys love to cut people off this is the norm for dailup users
you may find the COM to the modem may have change it ether com1 or com3 so new connection may need to be made or control panel see modem chaing the com listing for it to the right one.
set the speed by going into your connection properties, from there you see: general tap> "configure" click-on that> from here you can set the max-speed (select) 57600 (more stable 56K)
i don't like US Robotic Modems they are lame as they get badly made i had too many things go bad and they are the worst on my list to buy.....think thats why they are so cheap hard to sell
