VPN Drop Out on Ben Lomand (TN) DSL circuit?

BobMCT (IS/IT--Management)
10 May 08 19:59
We support about 30 IPSec VPNs each terminating at a remote DSL connected router.  They all work fine and reliably 24x7.
We just installed the same config in a new location in TN and it drops out every night.  When this happens we can still access the remote router and if we reset it the VPN comes back up.  Then, overnight, it drops again.  
To experiment we've run a slow ping from our local network to the remote router and as long as that is happening the VPN doesn't drop.
As our configs and equipment are identical in all our locations we feel that there is a config issue with the local telco providing the DSL.
Is anyone aware of what might be configurable on the DSL's DSLAM or local "modem" that might resolve this issue?

Thanks
