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.

I have the following in my /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider:
persist
# Set maxfail to 0 for unlimited connections
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?
