for best results, call your ISP.. find out what modems they use, and buy one like it for yourself.

It may be kicking you for many reasons:
-Idle timeout, if you aren't doing anything on the connection
-they may have a timer set up to kick you after x number of minutes (some ISPs do this to kick the people who dial up and leave their computers on all day/night and put a large load on the server.)
-could be bad wiring, but that rarely happens, it's usually bad performance instead.
-someone else is using your login? (it should keep you connected, and tell them they'res a duplicate logon, but you never know)

try and call your ISP and see what reasons they give you.
