[plug] Westnet DSL troubles: probably not linux issue

[Kai]

If it's a DSL-500 or 504 try updating to the latest firmware, I have 
heard that cures some problems with those models.
I haven't owned either of those so I can't confirm that info, maybe Ben 
can or someone else on the list who owns one....
