From time to time the connection becomes verry slow and ping -f shows packet losses up to 90 %. To recover form the losses, power cycling the modem OR stopping & restarting mpd OR waiting for minutes to hours solves the packet losses. Any ideas what might cause this? And how to solve this? The Alcatel Modem firmware is up-to-date. There is absolute no problem between de modem and the FreeBSD-box. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Arjan
