[RndTbl] My Shaw Broadband 50 turned into Dial-up

[Dan Keizer]

I'd suspect that if he flipped to half-duplex, that the collisions would
increase substantially - it's at 0, so I'd think it's ok there.

Compared to the DSL modem connected to this OpenBSD sparc box, you have
twice the packets, but 10 times the amount of errors.

smokeping / cacti would help to identify a trend in this in the future.

I've found that I've had to reset my dsl modem a few times this year -
then restart the pppoe session.

Dan.
