FWIW, there is a tool called DRTCP that you can find here: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/578 and if you are using PPOE I'd recommend installing raspppoe from: http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~normanb/
I've used raspppoe a few times with outstanding success for DSL SBC/Bell South. Seems there DSLAM'S really 'hook up' nicely with it. Had full bandwidth, 1492 down and around 768 up, about 1 1/2 miles away from the C/O. ~Rick ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glen Ostgaard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2002 8:43 PM - SATCOM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] OT: BellSouth DSL and MS VPN client > I have had lots of various connectivity problems using DSL connections, > often with Microsoft PPTP.
