Hi All,

We got same occurances here. At the moment we are blaming the telephone
company. In fact you really cannot blame anyone else because this is
strictly
random drop outs, eg. same customer sometimes can connect several days,
sometime drop out several times within 1 hour. Important point is the time
frame.
Most of the happenings concentrate to specific time periods. Our customer
reported "I got this problem yesterday, then everything runs fine
again...."

I believe this problem might be beyond our normal ISP power to solve. It
should be traced out by say Ascend together with the Telco company.

Any other idea?

James
