ADSL internet problem

[dtx]

Hi all!

There is a problem with the ADSL internet connection at a certain company.
The connection breaks at every 1 minute and its VERY annoying.
The ADSL modem is in bridge mode, the server is a Fedora linux system.

Here is how the /var/log/messages file looks like:

If it's only with a certain company I would ask them about this. Some ISPs have different set-ups for Linux or do other strange things.
