Won't fix the problem but would identify who is it and maybe why.
I do know my way around a PC, but I'm not sure if this would work, as the PC usually can't establish a connection, in order to read what the modem is doing.

I don't think it is any kind of attack, as the problem does appear to go away after a couple of days... But the modem behaves as though it is a kind of DoS.
