As far as I know the modem stays up continuously. I cannot swear to
it though.

Do you mean a static address from the router, i.e. 192.168.15.100?
That does actually seem constant as I always get that address
everytime I boot. Or do you mean the address from the modem? I can't
say I would know how to do either.
I can mention though that so far today I have had no problem. I am
now wondering if the last upgrade helped, or if perhaps one of the
previous moves has actually done something. I have switched off my
firewall and that may have helped in someway. I can't be sure, but I
am still watching and waiting for opportunities to test more things
during a down period.
Thanks for the continuing advice,
Patrick
