Access your router and set the connection to stay alive.
Some ISPs set the connection to drop after a certain time period. But 5 minutes is awfully short.
Try upgrading the firmware of your router. Sometimes this solves the problem.

Unfortunately ISDN can be funny when it has problems. It might be a pair of wires running from your router to the demarc. I would contact your provider and give them the ciruit ID on the line and see if they can test it to find if its taking any errors.
