 I'm having a problem with an internel modem which quits talking to the net
after a period of heavy traffic.

Is there a diagnostic which runs under FreeBSD that would put the modem into
internal loopback and run data into and out of it for a long time?  I'm
trying to rule out the external net as the source of the problem.

Thanks,

Paul Missman
