Thank you everybody for your suggestions.

I used LanExplorer to conclusively prove the source of this problem!!!
Here is a parcial transcript:

From this you can see that everything is cool right up until 17:40:37 when
Bell's ATM network sends a terminate request message! <ARG> which I
dutifully acknowledge.<GRRRR>. There is nothing after this from them.

Anyway, I passed this on to Bell and my ISP and now they will finally get
BellNexxia (The guys with the backbone) to look at.

Damn, how the hell would I have found this without a packet sniffer?

cheers,
darryl
