[plug] Westnet DSL troubles: probably not linux issue - firmware?

[andre.thomas at switch.aust.com]

Thanks for that info.  I'll have a dig at the iinet website.  Though from 
what you are telling me, its not going to make bugger all of a difference. 
 The Alcatel modem connected up at work at the moment (I brought it in 
from home) makes the difference needed.  I really think I might just go 
out and buy a replacement to the D-Link hardware.

Regards,

André Thomas

Ours claims to have firmware R2.05.b4t6, ADSL driver version 
1.3.5.03182002.0001.  It came from the Iinet web site somewhere.  If you
want, I can dig up the URL for it.  We've still been getting lousy
connection times with it (almost always <12hrs, generally less).  Back 
when
we were on dialup, we used to stay connected for 24hrs at a time, often a
lot longer.  Whether it's Telstra, Iinet or D-Link to blame, I don't know.
