Check your modemlog
www.808news.com/56k/modemlog.htm

Check disconnect reason from ati6 after disconnect
www.808news.com/56k/diag3com.htm

Check to see whether you have any disconnect if idle settings in your connection setup; also check to see if you have conflicting connection settings in any of your net apps (browser, mail, news, etc. auto-dial using a different connection)

Aloha,
Richard

It tells me: Invalid Codeword

which is not very illuminating.
I would have expected a retransmit, or something.
(A V90 sportster on the same line seems to hold up better)

You say a v90 Sportster on same line does ok. Is it using the same pc and browser? If not, make sure browser isn't set to check for mail every 15 mins. If it is, reconfigure, depending on browser.

Invalid codeword = an error in the error correction protocol; I would suggest checking your firmware version (is it the latest)? Are you using any init string? Check dip switches as they can override settings; make sure you are using correct .inf file; try disabling V.42 & connect with MNP. Also, test in Hyperterminal with V.42 and MNP -

also AT s$ in Hyperterminal will display all s-register settings; reset modem to Factory default (AT&F1) first;

Looks like I had Apple talk active on my modem port.
Turned it off, and so far things seem stable.

False alarm. It stabalized on of my Sportsters,
but both V.90 ext. Couriers (latest US/Canada code)
still drop the line will 'illegal command'

By using a more recent ARA (Apple Remote Access)
script (GV x2/V.90 rather than USR), and so another
init string, the Courier was stabalized, and no
longer drops the line.
Thanks to one and all in helping me get to this
point.
