Hello,

I have a 3Com HomeConnect running with Linux and rp-pppoe. I've been
using this combination for the last couple of years without too much
trouble.

I've recently moved premises and have noticed the ADSL connectivity
doesn't appear to be very stable. On a daily basis I stop and restart
the rp-pppoe software services and occasionally have to reboot the
modem.

I've included some info from the modem. Can someone confirm the below
info look like normal operating values for a modem the is a long way off
from the exchange? Is it considered normal to have the ADSL line drop
every few hours?

ADSL Transceiver Status Report:

    Operational Mode operational
