(PPTP to my ADSL modem) I got exactly this chip (RTL8139b) on a Realtek card working here 24/7 since about two months. I also got problems with dropped lines, but this is because the ISDN "modem" drops the connection when the line quality gets too bad. With a previous ISDN "modem" the darn box went into jabber mode, the only thing helping after that was power cycling the "modem", then ifconfig rl0 down; ifconfig rl0 up again. After changing the "modem" to a small CISCO 1000, the line is stable. No, I don't know what ISDN terminal adapter was dubbed "modem" by German Telekom, it had only Telekom printed all over its face.
