It sounds like your init string is missing something or has a wrong
setting.  Try enabling hardware handshaking and adding a &D0 to your
init string.  This tells the modem to assume that the DTR line is
always on.  It sounds like your modem is set for &D2 which tells the
modem to hang up if the DTR line goes low.

A URL would be nice.  I'd have to download the page to my IIgs to view
it at present as neither of my ISPs have shells I can use, my Linux
machine isn't up and running yet and I'm still waiting for SIS v1.1 to
arrive so I can use it through Delphi.

However, I'm sure there are a number of people would be more than
happy to check your web pages with SIS as well.  Max Jones has already
volunteered.  :)
