The 5 hours is no doubt an ISP restriction.   I pay for a 24/7 dialup but 
at one point my ISP made changes that caused a disconnect every 6 hrs.

You should ask your ISP about that.

As for the linux connection, I do now assume that you *do* get connected 
which is a steed of a different hue as compared to not able to login to 
the ISP at all.

Not sure where to go with that.  This isn't a 'winmodem' is it?  (forgot 
what modem you have)
