Nope, never had a problem. Perhaps a vulnerability or flaw in the modem itself?
Of course, the upload speed is slow but you know that since you work for Covad. I ran ISS IS through mine.

I currently have a Zyxel 643 router/ADSL modem that I "wanted to use for pen-testing, but the darn thing dies when doing something as simple as a port scan. I you have run into the problem, what was the fix other than throttling the scanning app? If a new modem, which one?
