Ever practical, Joe, your suggestion coughed out;
Feb  3 09:02:53 PIII500 pppoe[287]: read (asyncReadFromPPP): Session 
64958: Input/output error
Feb  3 11:13:09 PIII500 kernel: hdb: dma_intr: error=0x84 { Drive 
StatusError BadCRC }
Feb  3 14:40:46 PIII500 pppoe[323]: read (asyncReadFromPPP): Session 
5285: Input/output error

The pppoe errors could very well be a kink in the phone line, or something,
but the BadCRC error makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
anyone know what these might actually mean ?
