Well if the tech can see stuff, its not what I thought might be the problem, which was PVC settings.

But does your modem get an IP address, ie is it setup as a router or does your computer get the ip address?

Are you using PPPoA/PPPoE etc?

Some Comtrend modems can do a port mirror of the WAN (DSL) side.

after their Tier 1 tech monkeyed with the DSLAM and/or the CPE (remotely) in
some manner.  I find it suspicious that the problem was intermittent packet
loss until they tinkered, whereupon the problem became a "link no surf"
issue (i.e., there's Layer 2 connectivity but zero Layer 3 traffic passing).

I can get up to the DSL modem itself.  In hindsight, I'm thinking this isn't
going to be of much use and the only way to debug this is with capture
hardware on the DSL side as you suggested.  Drat.
