Try setting up a DUN connection instead of using the Netscape dialer program. The problem that you are having is almost universally a result of a software problem with the program that dialed out. The process goes like this:
Netscape Dialer program calls Netscape phone number --> connection is made --> Netscape browser opens --> you surf the web --> you close the browser and tell it to disconnect --> Netscape Dialer program fails to tell the modem to let go.
Set up a new Dial-Up Network connection (DUN) in Windows. Check this MSKB article for more info on doing this:
