This is what the router logs say: Sun, 2011-11-13 20:07:52 - LCP down. Sun, 2011-11-13 20:08:05 - Initialize LCP. Sun, 2011-11-13 20:08:05 - LCP is allowed to come up.

It is the most frustrating possibility myself.

(I had some autossh sessions that continued to reconnect so upon waking up I would see reconnections every morning.) I'm going to write some scripts that log connectivity throughout the day for several days.

I haven't managed to get Demon beyond the standard 'try this, try that' scritps. I found them frustratingly unhelpful -- though I may of course been unlucky with the people I spoke to -- which is why I want to get as much information as possible before getting in touch with them again. Anyway, thanks both for your help, much appreciated. Will report back when I find out more - got a few more things to 'play around' with.
