Connection ended for lack of activity
Some of my work requires me to be online, working with a dial-up connection. I often have to peruse a website, type some stuff in Word, peruse the website some more, et cetera.
If I don't actually load a new page in something like twenty minutes, my PowerBook G4 automatically severs the dialup connection. I know this is my computer, and not the modem pool's fault, because it doesn't happen with my old Dell. How can I ensure that it keeps a connection so I don't have to keep re-dialing in, even if there's no internet activity for 20 minutes or so?

Dial up sucks.
Now you should check in your dial up panel, if there is not an option that switch off the connection after a time of inactivity.
