Win 95 DUN Problems with Sportster 28.8 and my ISP

I keep getting disconnected from my ISP (Best), and am getting increasingly 
frustrated trying to find an answer as to why.  Every now and then I get a 
fine, normal, stable connection.  But about 5 out of 6 calls end suddently 
after 2-30 minutes with this message:

"Connection to Best SF was terminated.  Reconnect/Cancel."

Best tech support suggested my settings were somehow off, but if they are, I 
don't know how.  I've been using the same DUN Sportster driver for almost 2 
years, and only began to experience problems about 3 or 4 months ago.  I don't 
know what changed then, but Best assures me nothing's wrong at THEIR end, and 
if I changed something, I don't know what it is.

My COM port settings seem fine, as do my modem and TCP/IP settings.  The only 
thing I can think of is that maybe new drivers will help...but as far as I 
can tell, there aren't any serial or USR Sportster 28.8 drivers newer than the 
ones I have.

If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be eternally 
grateful.  Please replies to <small@abomb.com>.

Thanks,

Matt Small
