Disable call waiting on your phone service. *On most services, it's
dial *70 before placing the call. *You can add it to your modem
dialing string. *After the call is over, call waiting returns to
normal.
We don't have call waiting or any other services like that that would
upset the line. What else could it be that I could suggest to the ISP?

Punch *70 anyway. If nothing happens, you don't have call waiting. If
there's a beep or delay, followed by dial tone, you have call waiting.
I've seen customers that have had this feature added "accidentally" by
Ma Bell, and never noticed or were never informed.
I still would like to see what your line looks like. If you have a
USR modem, try the procedure I outlined in:
http://www.LearnByDestroying.com/aty11/aty11.htm
As I vaguely recall from the days when modems were in fashion, most of
the disconnects were caused by problems with the calling computer or
modem. Software would try to take over the modem control and do a bad
job of it. There were various schemes to allow talking on the phone,
while not dropping the modem line using call waiting, that worked
about half the time, and dropped the call the other half. Also,
anything going through a private phone switch or switchboard would be
subject to dropping a call.
One of the AT commands returns the "last call statistics" which
includes which end of the connection initiated dropping the
connection. That might be worth trying. Something like this:
