Is there any correlation between frame rates and connection stability?

yes. go to Allison Hind's gpl site and read her articles about online
racing. 36fps is very helpful in maintaining a good connection, which,
not only keeps you online, but reduces warping for your competitors.

stability?
Probably, if your connection involves a serial port. If you are
getting less than GPL's maximum 36fps, then the CPU will, quite likely,
be 100% utilized. As near as we can tell, Windows does a poor job of
servicing the serial port(s) when the CPU is heavily utilized. This
can lead to spikey latencies and/or more lost packets.
