Nothing. no problems noticed in dmesg, looking back through /var/log/messages all I can see is the errors from pppd on t he boots when it does not establish a link, on the boots where it does there are no messages from pppd. what I don't understand is the odd and even booting thing, and why I have to re run the adsl-setup each time, and then after having done that the need for a reboot, doing /etc/init.d/network restart does not work after redoing the setup. -- Rob
