I don't know a heap about xDSL modems, but a couple of weeks ago I think I had a similar problem, where I would be playing a game of good ole quake3 and I'd get disconnected, and the modem would try to re-synch itself (or whatever), then it'd be fine.
It happened a few times, and I was gonna contact xtra/telecom cause I was gettin' real cheesed off, but it hasn't happened since, so I didn't worry about it.
I dunno if it's related to your problem or not, but oh well.
