I've also seen problems with the Telus connection on a friend's computer. He's running SuSE 8.1 with a firewall. The computer would intermittently have DSL connection problems after about 2-3 weeks of use. I resolved the problem somewhat by editting the file in SuSE (hopefully it's in the same location in other distros): /etc/sysconf/network/providers/provider0
I made sure that: demand='YES' and I increased the idle time to: idletime='600' My friend still reports having intermittent problems connecting with DSL but not as often. Next time I visit, I will add the other DNS addresses suggested to hopefully finally stabilize the connection. Great tips!
