rebooting ADSL modem

[Peter Hiscocks]

For what it's worth, these same symptoms occur on a Windows 98 machine at my
place using a BB0069 GVC ADSL modem, which is connected to the windows box
by a USB cable. Having to constantly reboot during a networking session is a
major pain.

I'm currently in the process of installing a BB0060 GVC ADSL modem that uses
the LAN interface of the computer instead of USB. Then I hope that will also
play with Suse Linux which is on the same box. I will report whether this
works any better.
