I have a brand new external USR 5686 faxmodem connected to a windows 2000
computer's serial port.

I connect to two ISPs, AOL (v. 5.0) and Mindspring. Mindspring eventually
connects at 24k and maintains the connection. But whenever I dial AOL, the
connection gets dropped immediately.

I have a 56k courier modem connected to an identical machine, which connects
at 24k consistently to the same connections. I know the phone line is not
the greatest, as it goes through an analog phone system. I expect that is
why I can't connect at higher speeds than 24k.

But is there something I can do about AOL dropping connections?
