I have a linux firewall on the end of a ppp link to Telstra Direct. It's a Pentium II box, 2.4.19 kernel.
Very standard config. The modem 'link' stays 'up'. But there are intermittent 'outages'. Every so often there is an outage of 4 minutes, 57ish seconds. This happens with the following periodicity.... An outage every eight hours of 4 mins. Then after a few days, outages occur more frequently. Ping times seem pretty long as well in general. I've noticed this on another link using 2.4 kernel with an HDSL link to DavNet. Any clues? Regards & happy pagan festival to all.
