Correct me if I'm wrong, but PPP Term Req means that the disconnect was
requested at the PPP level. That is to say, Dial-Up Networking requested
the disconnect even before it told the modem to disconnect. That would be a
perfect and normal disconnect.

Is that not correct?

I missed the initial post, but if PPP Term Req is the major disco reason,
try this fix:

If you have problems being disconnected frequently, you may be being hit
by a bug in the Windows 95/98 modem code. Basically, it causes your
modem to hang up when large amounts of data are being transmitted. Here
are the steps to correct it:

* Click on Start, then Settings, then Control Panels
* Double-click modems
* Click Properties
* Click Connection
* Click Port Settings
* Move both bars all the way to the Low side
* Click OK
