I've only just gone over to DSL (exchange was activated in Nov) and so I'm 
still feeling around - it seems as if the machine gets very silly load the 
line drops.... Sometimes its a sod to get back up...

I've toyed between

1) Replacing the USB modem with a router///
2) Mucking with Diald to automate
3) Just living with it as its not a major problem ;-)

Clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Like acid and oil on a madman's face
