I click to connect to the ISP, the modem initialises, then dials in, handshakes, then pauses for about 30 seconds thendisconnects. The following text is a log file of the connection....

Check with your ISP, it looks like it is terminating on a Signal 15 by a user. Sounds as though you are getting out to the ISP, but the ISP is cooperating.
