Subject: 3com homeconnect dropping connection

Hi there,

I have a 3com homeconnect on jetstart and connected to a linux firewall
box. I have a problem that when the connection is saturated for a period of
time the homeconnect seems to drop the connection. I am pretty sure that I
have read about this problem on this list before but could not find the
reference in the archives. Is there a simple solution ?. I have thought
about trying to limit the traffic out of the linux box so that it is never
overloaded, but am not sure if that will fix the problem.

And my thanks to the people involved in this list, though due to a lack of
knowledge I have little to contribute, but I have learnt a lot by reading
what comes by.

thanks
Wayne

(ps. very happy with my modem as a modem :) )
