I've had similar problems with my Pace 56k and iMac. Seems to be a problem
with my telephone line. Sometimes I got good clean connection with no
dropouts for hours on end, other times (most of the time) I got what you
described.

I finally solved it by setting up the Pace to connect at 33k maximum and
someone kindly sent me a script for the iMac's internal modem to do the
same.
