iMac Internet Connect and Moz hang while ISP cuts me off

I am running Mozilla 1.5.1

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5.1) 
Gecko/20031120

on Max OS X version 10.3.2 on a fairly recent iMac.

I connect via dialup and if I'm lucky I get a 44k connection from my 
local fly-by-night TelCo/ISP.

It seems to take forever when the ISP disconnects me. If I happen to be 
sending an email or posting to a newsgroup from Mozilla while being 
disconnected by the ISP, the OS X Internet Connect goes into an endless 
loop of unsuccessful attempts to reconnect and I have to restart.

The solution, of course, is to get DSL from a better provider. Until 
then I am curious to know if this is a OS X problem or a Mozilla problem 
  and if there is anything I can do about it in the meantime.

Sincerely,
Ken Seggerman
