Hi; first of all we are talking about less than two minutes offline, don´t know if that is enough to be justify a long lasting investigation...

I am not aware of an option in pppoe to reset the connection time at the other end. I´m running the same DSL service as you do since the service has been started. To my best knowledge and my experience - the 24 hrs starts with the connect. Sometimes it has been less than 24 hrs - due to a power outage on my side, sometimes related to any pb by the ISP (Telekom). And being an active developer if Bering-uClibc I reboot my router a few times in a week. The time of the 24hrs disconnection changed definitely. just think from the point of view as a casual user (who is not online 24/7/365) - he connects and he shall not disconnected for 24 hrs - that´s what he buyed. This will work for you as well. Connect and you are 24hrs online (if nothing goes wrong). I guess I can add something similar as in the Telekom DSL router for a LEAF box with a cron job disconnecting and reconnecting a minute later (at least enough time, that the disconnection is recognized remotely). This will works 360 days a year, and you won´t notice the failing 5 days. That´s how I would have done it as Telekom employee. It´s so easy to look good. And by the time it is detected as a trick, I will be one of the 20.000 dismissed workers. kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
