[wellylug] adsl--DSL-504T

[Roger Young]

I have similar problems with the 504G router.
It usually drops the connection some time during the
night. Since that is when IHUG have their "cheap"
rate I began to wonder if it wasn't all a plot :)
David, I would like a copy of your script please.
My email is r.young at irl.cri.nz

Thanks,
Roger.
