[pptp-server] flakey adsl

Hi,

I have a remote site in New Zealand using pppoa (jetsream) to connect back
to my Melbourne Australia based host running a 2mb fibre link.  The host
side of the connection is rock solid, I can keep 100+ hour connections from
my home cable modem (melbourne based), but the pppoa seems to get heaps of
atm errors, these cause me no end of problems.  After a series of these atm
errors the vpn connection drops, does anyone know of a way to build some
more fail over protection into poptop.  I am using 1.1.2 version of poptop
with kernel 2.4.5 and full encryption.  I'm not looking for a magic bullet,
more so something that may help keep the connection up for longer than 15
odd minutes.

Any sughestions would be well received.

Thanks in advance.

Mick
