I've had the same problem under 14w.  SLIP would run great for about
3 hours and then I'd suddenly lose carrier and the modem would hangup.
FTP transfers would work fine until the end of those 3 hours.  I was
only 'get'ting files though.  Haven't tried 'put'ting.  Will tomorrow

This was happening with a USR Sportster (The Gateway OEM).  I recently
switched from the loaner to a Zoom and haven't had any disconnections.
I don't have call waiting so that isn't a factor.  My longest connection
with the Zoom was ~7 hours and I was FTPing 15-20 megs of files.  Could
SLIP be hardware sensitive??
