Dodgy connection & always getting cut off

Hello,

The title says it all...I am on dialup. When I try to dial out to my ISP, I have to dial 9 first to connect (as there are two lines in my house). Often, the dialing tone doesn't "latch on" if you know what I mean (usually, the tone changes after dialing 9. Therefore the number doesnt dial through correctly.

And when I do eventually connect (it probably takes on average 5 tries each time), i get cut off on average probably every 30 minutes! its a right nightmare. I will be getting broadband sometime soon, but in the meantime, can anything be done to fix my problems?

Cheers
 
old computer? IS the ISP rated well for dial up? Is it free dial up? Have you always had the problme like this with the same modem...
