Modem connection

["none" <ice4ice () excite com>]

hi, i'm a simple man, i can't affort anything faster than 56k :>
 I'm running XP, with Forton Firewall; the problem i occured that packets can be sent to me with +++ATHO, which will 
nicelly disconnect me. Uner linux i found that that command can be disabled via querying the modem. Some of the ICMP 
senders will do it to 135 port; disabling the whole protocol won't do it. We tried it. 
 I don't think that the firewall is actually catching the packets, before they reach modem :> ,so i'm trapped, trying 
different software won't help, eg BlackIce didn't help. My mate tried from freeBSD, by going on higher port (cant 
remember) and disconnecting me, but ip ban solved that.
Q. is there an answer to that? i can't setup a hardware firewall, and i need windows to run more often than linux (for 
the time being.)
  Can someone send a link for more info on ICMP?
Thanks, and sorry for my poor english.
