I'm a user of OE6 with all updates installed. Win XP prof xp2 with all
updates installed.

I use OE6 and after about 10-15 minutes I am disconnected.

I'm using Verizon DSL and a Westell model 6100 modem. Checking The modem I
show down 1216 kbits/sec by 704 kbits/sec. The ppp status is "up". Still at
this point I am unable to send or receive email or view a web site.

In order to get back on I have to reboot. Then everything works for the same
length of time. This is a fairly new happening for about the last 2 months.
Before that I never had a problem.

One other thing: When I check in Control Panel -- Network connections it
shows Verizon DSL as disconnected but Local Area Connection connected.

Any help and assistance appreciated.

Regards,

Check your settings in Outlook Express at Tools, Accounts, Mail/News,
Properties, Connection for each mail and news account. One or more of
the accounts may be set to always dial a specific connection. Also look
at Tools, Options, Connection for Hang up after sending and receiving.
