| 95656 | 2002-11-03 17:18:00 | I use Paradise to connect and it's been a reliable connector but in the last week I've been dropping my connection when I open letters in NGs or even switch sites when I browse. I need to re-connect about 6-10 times in an hour. This has never happened before so where do I start looking? Me or my ISP? I have an external serial modem (my usual modem) + an internal. I have tried the internal and get the same results, so it's probably not a modem hardware problem.
