External modem line drops with activity

[adam krell <akrell@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I have an external modem (Hayes Accura 336 V.34)
connected to ttyS1.  I have configured wvdial and I
can call out and establish a ppp connection
successfully.  However, when I start some network
activity (ping an address, get a web page, etc.) the
phone line drops and the modem resets and dials out
again.  I can get about 10 ping sequences going before
it drops.

This modem works fine with a windows machine.  I am
running potato on a AMD K-5 100mhz with 48Meg Ram (I
think).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
