Thanks. I was wondering about a bug with LCP echoes I accidentally
introduced that made it into 5.9 (fixed for 6.0).

Nothing stands out from what you've sent. Some possibilities:

- connection somewhere between the APU and the ISP really is dropping out
(are you using the same cable for the different locations you placed the APU
in? could a cable be bad? check for errors on the ethernet interface)

- machine too busy to handle traffic - maybe tail -f /var/log/messages in the
background while "vmstat -w 10" or something is running (maybe under "script"),
look for the timeouts in the output and see what cpu is doing at the time

btw using (...) causes an extra address lookup to be done when the rule
is evaluated (i.e. when a packet doesn't match existing state) - you may need
this for pppoe0 but you can save a bit of cpu with

  pass out quick on egress inet6 proto { tcp, udp } from { (pppoe0:network),
  athn0:network, re2:network } modulate state

(and same for the v4 rule)

not likely to be the problem, but you're pretty unlikely to need that.
