Philip, did you have loss of electricity, for example in remote office with astlinux.? Whan power on both devices (adsl modem and astlinux) at same time, astlinux boots faster then adsl modem very often (Sometime synchronizations between ADSL modem and DSLAM take several minutes) If variable CONNECT_TIMEOUT is set to 30 astlinux can remain without internet connection. When set CONNECT_TIMEOUT=0 astlinux unconditional connect to the internet, but stay unsynchronized with ntp servers very ofen. Because I can not predict time needed for synchronization between ADSL modem and DSLAM, I suggest modification of /etc/init.d/ntpd script. Script should put testing internet connection and time synchronization into background.

I use ntpd and pppoe, and I just have: WANDELAY=45 in my /mnt/kd/rc.conf file and that works fine.
