CS>Glad you arrived safely in sunny Florida.  As for Verizon DSL, things 
CS>are going well since I figured out what was disconnecting me every 30 
CS>minutes or so.

CS>Turned out it was a combination of things.  QOS protocol, and of all 
CS>things Zone Alarm!  The free version of ZA was preventing me from 
CS>reconnecting automatically when my ISP times out due to no activity on 
CS>the line (standby, etc).  In order for ZA to allow me to reconnect 
CS>automatically, I had to put the IP address in its "free zone".  Since I 
CS>connect via PPPoE, that meant it had to be accomplished every time the 
CS>system booted up.  What a pain!

CS>Anyway, I removed ZA and downloaded the new updated version of Sygate 
CS>Personal Firewall (free), installed it, and haven't had a problem since.
CS>BTW, the pro version of ZA works fine as it can be configured to allow 
CS>reconnection automatically.

A few months back I had to remove Sygate from my system. It prevented me
from connecting to SBC DSL. Happened all of a sudden with no changes
made to system or Sygate. Have you considered the Kerio firewall?
Seems to wok to perfection so far.
