Welcome to DSL, the telco didn't do any more tests then required to get sync for 30 seconds.
Cancel the DSL and get another line. That's about the extent of it, or at least in Ontario it is, I've had this problem with 5 or 6 connections.

I noticed about three weeks ago a lot of UNREACHABLEs that became REACHABLE 10 seconds later. After studying this a little, it happens that the DSL connection was stopping every 8 minutes (+ about 3 seconds). The modem doesn't apperat to lose sync, the data flow just stops. Since then I've removed asterisk from that connection. Every possible test has been done at our office, three different modem/routers of different brands were swapped in/out, there is a second phone line in the same cable that is on a different connection and it does not have the interruptions. I've turned off every box in the office and disconnected every cable from the router.Also disconnected FXO lines, phones and left just a modem/router on. No change. The 8 minutes are invariable, so after turning of everything here, I can't see how it could possibly be any local hardware. The phone company here has, after being evasive aboput checking the DSLAM, claimed they did everything possible, changed our DSLAM connection, tried every piece of equipment on their end. Ditto the ISP who has been very cooperative. I can only think of one more possible approach: get the power lines and the phone line independently checked for some kind of parasitic interference, say a big machine of some kind going on and off. Why this affects one DSL connection and not the other... I wouldn't know. Does anyone have any suggestions about what kind of outfit to look for that might do this kind of checking? Or any suggestions to pursue at all? tia _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
