Thanks Kwon but the problem does not seem to relate to ppp or pppd. I am using PPPoA and do have 'persist' and 'maxfail' set in ppp files.
The problem seems to relate to the Speedtouch driver or USB kernel module, since I get the following in syslog: Oct 4 12:09:29 firewall modem_run[22358]: Error reading interrupts Oct 4 12:09:32 firewall kernel: usb.c: USB device 22 (vend/prod 0x6b9/0x4061) is not claimed by any active driver. Oct 4 12:09:51 firewall kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout Oct 4 12:09:51 firewall kernel: usbdevfs: USBDEVFS_BULK failed dev 22 ep 0x85 len 512 ret -110 It may be that there is a shorewall setting I have misconfigured... I find these frequent ADSL / ppp0 disconnects strange because I have an Eagle usb modem running under Bering 1.2 and I can count on one hand the number of times it has droppped off the internet in the past 2 years. Altho' I have 'debug' set in the dsl-providers file, there is no log information anywhere that explains the SpeedTouch disconnecting. Did anyone else experience the above usbdevfs error message?
