Mike, I've noticed this also as I have my Mandrake box setup the same way. I've been told it's akin to the TCP stack filling up in a way. I'm not sure I understand this yet, but I've also heard that the firewall can get clogged up. seems rather bazarre to me. I've found that this occurs the most with my machine after it's been up more than three days and like yours requires an interface restart. I've been thinking about shortening the interval between crond ppp0 restarts to ensure a free flowing connection. -- Mark "I suppose I should have a pithy saying here..."
