Remove any splitters/couplers and replace the phone cord. Make sure it goes from the modem to the wall.. not modem to the answering machine to wall... or anythign like that.. If your going over 25 feet see about getting a jack installed closer. If your using wireless phone jacks... throw them away.. they were designed for sat boxes low speed modems, not high speed computer modems, and dont reliably connect at anything higher than 9600bps unless the signal is perfect. They just were not designed for it.

When i worked for a huge dial up ISP splitter/coupler/replace cord fixed 95% of the "cant stay connected" calls, the rest fixed another 3% or so and the leftovers were just plain weird.....
