System Standby Disconnects Modem Connections
When you place a Windows XP-based computer on standby, any currently
connected remote access connections are silently disconnected. You are not
prompted to disconnect manually before the computer goes on standby. This
applies to any remote access connections, including connections to Internet
service providers (ISPs) and private networks.
Windows XP silently disconnects any active connections before entering
standby. When the computer resumes from standby, you must manually reconnect
any remote access connections before you can use them.
