I desperately need help.I have a toshiba laptop,specs below.I STILL have dialup and the laptop has no modem.I purchased an external modem and hooked it up to the laptop.I can get online but it will only stay connected 5 to 15 minutes.I have searched and searched for a solution to this problem(including talking with Toshiba reps)without a solution.I thought maybe it was the modem but after hooking it up to my desktop that's not it,it worked with no problems.Sure hope somebody can help me out.Satellite L355 Detailed Product Specification1
