Justin de Vesine was less than thrilled with his internet service. On a good day, his high-speed would pretend to be dial-up; usually, it seemed that things would just give up loading half-way through. Through some trial and error, he narrowed it down to the brand-name DSL modem that his ISP gave him. Since it was running a stripped down version of Linux, and supported telnet administration, Justin decided to log in and poke around some of the scripts and config files to see if he could find the source of his problems.
When he came across this gem of a start-up script, Justin was not surprised that his DSL modem was the source of his troubles.
