I have a Ubuntu server running pppoe through a D-Link DSL-502T in
Annexe-M and bridge mode. The DSL 502T seems to have become a bit flakey
in that seems to require restarting every week or so, whereas it used to
run for months without being touched.
So I'm looking for a drop-in replacement, but everything currently
available seems to have wireless (which I don't want) and/or I can't
confirm they support bridging and Annexe-M.
Can anyone suggest a current model modem I could drop in?

Hi
A vigor 120 would work although ADSL speeds wouldn't be as good as your
current modem.

You could buy a Traverse Technologies Solos card if your server has a PCI slot
- not exactly drop-in replacement however. I am very pleased with mine.
I've read consistently favourable reports on Whirlpool about Tomson Speedtouch
modems, including the observation that they have a telnet interface, but I
haven't used one.

I've been using netcomm nb6 which is a single Ethernet port adsl modem. No wireless.
I've been told they aren't making them anymore and that the replacement is
wireless, but I'm not sure if that's true or not.

An alternative might be to repair the D-Link if it has been otherwise good. It may be
beyond repair but open it up and check for bulging capacitors.

Why is having a feature that you don't want a problem? Can't you just turn
Wifi off?

While I agree with the general sentiment, in this case you're looking
at, what, a difference of $10 on a $70 device? Who cares.

If you have a spare laptop power supply hanging around, try that first -
it may just be blips on the power and the old PS is now on the edge.
When my double conversion UPS died I started to need to do the odd reset
of the modem.

In the past I've thrown a cheap and cheerful TPLink in bridge mode at a
few situations and seen them work stably. I think the model was 8810.
Once they're up and running, if you tweak the ethernet interface on
your server and add appropriate routes, you can still access the telnet
interface on the modem to check things like SNR or reboot it etc.
Last I checked it cost about $30-40 :D ... I wouldn't run it as a
router (even though it can do it) though..
