Here is my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf .... it has been "worked on" but so far seems
to have been OK. As for regularly: it basically means several times a day
for no reason that is apparent to me.

default:
        set timeout 180
        enable dns
        set log Phase Chat IPCP tun command
        set redial 15 0
        set reconnect 15 10

internet:
        set device PPPoE:rl0
        set authname xxx@yyy
        set authkey **********
        set ifaddr 0 0
        add default HISADDR
        disable acfcomp protocomp
        deny acfcomp
        set speed sync
#       set mtu max 1476
#       set mru max 1430
        enable lqr
        set lqrperiod 5
        set cd 5
        set dial
        set login
        set timeout 0

/etc/rc.conf looks like this:

keymap="us.iso"
linux_enable="YES"
sshd_enable="YES"
usbd_enable="YES"
sendmail_enable="YES"
pf_enable="YES"
pf_rules="/etc/pf.conf"
pf_flags=""
pflog_enable="YES"
pflog_logfile="/var/log/pflog"
pflog_flags=""
ntpdate_enable="YES"
ntpdate_flags="hk.pool.ntp.org"
ntpd_enable="YES"
devd_enable="YES"

Yes, it puzzles me why it happens in the first place, but as it hits the XP,
linux and BSD connections equally frequenly, I am assuming it is a function
of hardware or IP provider.

Thanks for the replies so far!

Brian
