Is this a more recent (Late 2001 up to current) iBook?

It sounds like it's disconnecting because the other side is not 
responding to echo requests. Enabling verbose logging in Network Prefs 
(in PPP Options) and displaying the Connection Log in Internet Connect 
would show this. If you want, send me the connection log -- from the 
time you click connect to when it's fully disconnected -- off-list and 
I'll take a look at it.

You might try the v.34 script instead of v.92. It could be that the 
modem is having trouble retraining (renegotiating the data rate) and 
getting confused. You will connect slower with v.34 than with v.92, but 
you may also have a more stable connection.

If you're already using v.34, or it doesn't help, you might also try a 
different access number if another one is available. Sometimes access 
numbers can be wonky.
