Back in June, I wrote how happy I was that my DrayTek seemed to be more stable as a DSL modem than my previous Netgear boxes. Well, the DrayTek is nearing its two year anniversary and it's having problems. I've quoted a typical chunk of the PPPoE log below.

So... it's probably time for new hardware again.

I'm supposed to be "transitioned" from AT&T's good old fashioned ADSL to U-Verse, so at least I won't be paying for a new ADSL modem. Sigh.
