Re: /var/log/message error question

I'm assuming that you are running rp-pppoe for your pppoe connection. I 
recently switched to britsys.net ('cause they give me a static ip for 
very little more than I was paying for dynamic) so I don't use pppoe 
anymore, but that error means that the connection was dropped for 
inactivity (something wicked).
