I have a K56flex modem on a beige G3 and while it usually dies after a
few minutes rather than seconds I have the same problem. Despite trying
different init strings and even a change of 'phone provider (not just to
try and cure this problem I hasten to add) I've not been able to sort it
100%. Anything above 38000 the connection dies after a short time and a
redail is the only solution. I've tried boh Green and Purple ROMPs and
other numbers too .... no difference!

Demon state they don't support K56Flex and have tried to help (quite a
pleasant response actually), but in the end referred me to the Modem
manufacturer, who no longer support my modem anyway. 

Not a Powerbook problem, but it seems to be the K56Flex more than the
Demon/Mac combination in my experience. I borrowed a V90 modem which had
no problems at all.
