seemingly a solution to Mac OS X 10.2 and Telstra Cable (Broadband) problem I queried about a week ago:

thanks to those who assisted with this.

the solution seems to be to use a 3rd party "donationware" program called "Launch!" have not given it a long term whirl but after 2 hours of testing including large downloads, rebooting, reconnecting etc we encountered no problems.


Version 2.2 of Launch! is available:
from developer http://users.bigpond.net.au/jcurmi/software/mac/launch/index.html
via version-tracker <http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/13015>
or <ftp://talent.ecel.uwa.edu.au/talent/public/Mac%20OS%20X/bigpondlaunch/>
