anyways, i connect get full 28800bps but within 5 mins im disconnected.. everythings fine up to then.. this happens 4 or 5 times before its stable, but then if i play quake.. i can play for 5 mins and im gone again.. need to redial.

its probably something to do with the dodgy phone cable, but i mean its fine except for quake, i need my quake!

really ****ed me off
stupid 56k upgraded 33.6 internal laptop modem thingy.

still that doesnt answer your question tho
but its most likely not the cable.
