I forgot to mention, are you connecting at V.90 speeds? If so
renegotiations/retrains will take place and you will see a speed
jump or hesitation. Disable this in the modem. There are
specific S registers to do this. Also what type of term/com server
gear are you connecting to?
I would also recommend upgrading your modem BIOS.

How often does this happen? Is it a fixed time period?

uuhhh, don't disable error correction for long. You might see
massive problems then. But it might be useful to see if it is
involved in your problem.
Also, get your ISP involved. Most admins have access to debug or
PPP trace tools to help you. Good luck.
