Since getting a Thomson Speedtouch (rev 4) working with Bering 2.4.2, I
am having intermittent breaks in the internet connection. The connection
from ppp0 to our ISP goes down - especially when users try to access
yahoo.com or their hotmail account... anybody have any idea why this is?
Could it be a shorewall configuration that I need or a known issue with
the speedtouch?

Despite having 'persist' in the /etc/ppp/options file the only way to
resurrect the internet connection is to execute the following commands:

ifdown ppp0
rmmod speedtch
rmmod crc32
(unplug & re-plug speedtouch)
insmod crc32
insmod speedtch
ifup ppp0
pppd call dsl-provider

This must seem really clumsy to many readers - any shortcuts,
workarounds or suggested config settings changes will be much
appreciated.
