While playing the game, I will get intermitent modem problems.
Basically I can play for 5 - 30 minutes and then BANG! I get the
'other player is having problems' error and everything stops and
eventually hangs up. What gives? Is it Patch time? I hope Blizzard are
doing something about this. Is anyone else having the same problem?

You can try to disable error control and compression in your modem via
the init string. If you do so, connect at the exact speed of your
modem (14.4, 28.8, etc...) . The strings needed are different for
every kind of modem, they should be in your modem's manual.They should
be something like AT &F /N0 /Q0 (Those are for my modem).
The init. strings are for the person who calls.

I had the same problem and it worked great, I hope it works for you.
