Re: DSL from AT&T

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

mine is a netopia dsl router.
I've noticed it takes a while to "wakeup" if I have not been active 
recently.
About once every 2 weeks I have to reboot it.
Given the age and # different dsl services acquired around the country,
I expect many variations on equipment and config.
Mine was a Bellsouth service for many years.
