[plug] Keep losing my route to ISP

[Phil Steege]

Kai,

Thanks for the tips and the links.
I will try that as soon as I figure out how to remotely login to my 
server/gateway/firewall.  I haven't been able to get ssh working just yet, 
and I don't want to enable rlogin or telnet on my firewall machine.
Another work in progress, but hey, that is what the fun of Linux is all about.
