It must be a better way because setting the client lease time doesn't 
work! Well, it does the first time, then it reverts.  However I just 
reduced the DHCP lease time in the modem which essentially the same. 
That does work; it means the network is down for up to half an hour but 
I think I can live with that.

Thanks for your script. Unfortunately as my modem handles the ppp 
encapsulation (and my ISP uses pppoa) using the pppoe scripts is not a 
possibility.
