AOL always had that problem.  There is a program call StayOn.  Supposedly
it will keep your connection alive.

I don't know if it actually work or not.  I haven't use a 56k modem in over
a year ever since I got DSL install in the house.  It's worth every
penny.  I'm connected all the time at T1 speed.  I'm very happy.  If you
can afford DSL or Cable access, go for it.  It make a world of
difference.  I pay $50 a month for DSL through the phone company.
