in the interest of science:

[mulix@alhambra ~]$ grep "Connect time" /var/log/messages > ~/tmp/connect-times

you can ignore the september 15 (10:34 and 12:17) disconnections. they
were due to a reboot for a kernel upgrade to 2.4.10pre8.

hardware - PII233, atur II adsl modem
software - kernel 2.4.x (8 <= x <= 10pre8), patched pptp 1.0.3.
isp - actcom, static ip.

anything else you'd like to know, feel free to contact me in private.
