When will they ever learn....

USB is garbage as it has some inherent power issues (let's drop power
just because..)   Is there something else plugged into your USB port?
Like a printer or scanner or keyboard?

Do yourself a favor.  Dumpt the USB garbage, get a STH ethernet modem, a
cheap $15 network card, and a hub/router if you want more than one
system online at a time.  If you do not use a Router/Hub, you will still
need to use Connection Manager or Enternet.  W/R-H then remove
Connection Manager/Enternet, enter PPPoE username/password into PPPoE
config in the router. All done.  Now you can surf forever.. or until
they reboot the DSLAM :)  I have been connected for WEEKS at a time
except I did lose sync for about 5 minutes this morning, but that is
very unusual for my connection.  
 (my favorite router/hub is the Linksys BEFSR41  it just works!)
