modem drops out on Presario 6000

Compaq Presario 6000
Windows XP
Using Slow Dialup connection with factory modem

Connection drops out after 1 or 2 minutes, no warning or error messages..
Have to redial and reconnect every 2 minutes typical.
(even though connection drops I have to tell computer to disconnect before I
can reconnect)
Sometimes stays connected for 1/2 hour or more without dropping out.

Another computer works on this phone line.
Modem test says OK.

ISP says connection ok (same on 4 numbers)
any thoughts?
thank you

Modems are cheap. Replace it.
