Intermittent loss of connectivity at remote site

Greetings,

We have some pc's (6) located at a remote site on the east coast.  These pc's are not used by individuals and connect via 900mhz wireless to a DSL modem.  We experienced a power outage at the site and had to have the modem restarted (weeks later) in order to connect.  1 hour after it connected we lost the connection again.  After another restart it was operational for about 1.5 days and we again lost the connection.  My question is does this sound like a DSL modem(hardware) issue or should I be looking at contacting the Att and can they tell me about the status of the connection in the area?  

Thanks!

Yes, DSL is inherently unreliable for 24/7.  I like the timer idea, although not ideal is a 'patch' solution I will probably implement next time I am on site.  I called AT&T and they were essentially useless short of saying "reboot the modem".  anyways after a series of reboots I did get it back online and hopefully it remains until I am on site next.  Thanks
