The problem in both places is that the ADSL modem sometimes goes off, and the only way to turn it back on seems to be to disconnect and re-connect the power supply.
I had a similar problem with a cable modem. My relatively inexpensive solution was to buy an X-10 Firecracker kit and build bottlerocket from http://www.linuxha.com/bottlerocket/.
I then set up a cron job to test the Internet connection every minute and reset the power whenever it failed.
