Anyone got a Speedtouch 516v6 modem I can borrow for a week or two? My original iStop/3Web DSL line has been showing disconnects at certain times of the day for the past almost two years. (Bell reduced the line profile from 5 to 4 to 3 Mbit. It still drops, though less than at 5 Mbit.) I finally got a separate dry DSL line installed (NCF) last week, and it, too, shows drops at similar times of the day, especially around 7am-11am and 11pm-midnight daily. Midnight to 6am and noon to 6pm are pretty stable. Both lines work fine at full speed for "most" of the day; they just keep disconnecting. I'd like to put a modem on both lines so that I can collect line quality stats for both lines at the same time and correlate the line drops between the two. I have scripts to pull stats from the "adsl info" command on the Speedtouch modem; so, that's the type of modem I'd like to borrow. Failing that, I could borrow a different model, provided it has line quality stats... I have a loaner modem from NCF; but, they need it back ASAP. -- | Ian! D.
