actually, i heard of one case where they did check things out. however, in
that case, the connectin was done using a frame-relay link and a cisco
router, and the cisco router gives indications regarding CRC errors and
the like, which helps you find the problems more easily, and most likely
were enough (along with pursuasion from the ISP) to check and find that
they had a faulty ATM card (or was it a faulty frame relay card - i forgot
which). btw, in that case they checked the line for errors, and found
none. indeed, the errors weren't on the line, but rather on the card
itself :). only checking end-to-end traffic revealed the errors.
so the question now is whether the ADSL modem that you have can check for
such CRC errors, or perhaps your own TCP stack can check for such errors.
