inconsistent dial-up connection



PIII on a Dell4100 with Creative Modem Blaster DE 5625.


I don't understand -- why is it that most of the time when I try to connect I get this:

But once in a while, when I do connect, I get this?

There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. The machine is on a LAN with one other machine, but this inconsistency leads me to think its something the modem is or isn't saying to the ISP (Qwest)

Thank you.
