Looked at the accounting files to see reason for disconnection? I'm willing to
bet it says "Lost Carrier" and that these systems are running Windoze,
especially Win95.

Deep down in the modem control panel for Win95 there are a pair of slider bars
for buffer size. Cut the buffers down to 0. Yes, LOGIC says this should make
matters worse, not better, but MS is not logical. Read the help files on those
sliders if you think it's bassackwards.
