DialUp is far less reliable than broadband, and offen suffers connection
drops or stalls where communications stop for no good reason.

However the above problems are all related to the internet stack problem
signified by that error, which is not specific to dialup, although it happens
at the same frequency for Hariett Bazley also on dialup, where as it happend
once in 4 years for me on broadband. That could suggest the failure is
provoked by higher latencies.

You might be able to avoid a shutdown by doing a *RMReinit Internet
although you will probably have to be offline for this to work.
