I have a customer who is having frequent
disconnets with his new Dell SPX-133 Pentium
computer.

He has a new 28.8 Internal USRobotics Sportster
modem.  

He continually gets dropped after only a few min.
on the net.  Once he gets dropped Win95 does not
register him as being dropped.  He tries to dial
in and there is lots of static heard through the modem
(as if it is still transmitting).  It has to be rebooted 
before it dials again.

Dell tech. support said there was something he could
do that would fix the inability to hang-up.  However, he 
didn't get what that was.

Has anyone had any problems like this?  If so, how were
they fixed?  Any ideas?
