Why is my Dial-Up Freeze

I am using Windows ME. I have a problem with my dialup box freezing when trying to dial my ISP. It is imtermittent. I can disconnect and retry; sometimes it dials, sometimes it doesn't. Eventually after several tries I usually can get a connection, but not always. Sometimes I get a connection immediately. This event is sometimes accompanied by the BSOD with the following error message: 0028:C0030D40 in VxD called by 0028:C002F285 in VxD. I ran this error message on Google and there was five complaints with the same problem, however no one could solve it. Also, no help from Microsoft with the error message. Can any of you experts solve this one!

Thanks for your help!
