Cisco 857 disconnecting from ADSL mbanyon 05-19-08

Hi, in the last 3 weeks our Cisco 857 has dropped the ADSL connection
during the night. We host a server which makes this a real problem.

Each time I have looked at the router and the PPP led is not lit.
Is there any way to look in the logging to see why the DSL connection
is failing and not re-connecting?

checkout Dialer Persistent feture

=====

! dialer persistent

config t
interface dialer 1
dialer persistent delay initial 0 seconds
dialer persistent delay 0 seconds
no dialer idle-timeout
end


Post output of:

Is this necesary for DSL?

I used to worry about the physical layer flapping
and there being no interesting traffic but it doesn't
actually seem to work like that. I am not sure about this
but I have seen dozens of 8x7 routers in service, none
with "dialer persistent" or other means of bringing
up the dialer (well some with with NTP but by no means all).
We have had nework monitoring on te routers from
the outside and they never seem to need 'tickled'.

I simply can't believe that I have been that lucky.

Waiting for OP to post various show commands so can determine what IOS
version and firmware version is in use.
