I used to have a BBS system that needed to be periodically reset. I just
got one of those digital clock-timers from Radio Shack, which you plug
in to the wall, and you can plug things into them and set an on/off
time. I set the ON time to 4:01 AM and the OFF time to 4:00 AM. So at
4:00 it would go off, then back on at 4:01. Worked great.

Zane, have your firewall interface a X-10 controller. The power module
could be used to cycle the modem.

Some times it will

It is fairly easy to set my Firewall up to monitor and determine if
the firewall is down. The question is, what would it take to get that
Firewall to powercycle the ()#*&% #(*&% modem
on it's own? I seem to
recall seeing something that can be plugged into a Serial port, and
you can send it signals to turn the power on and off on a receptical.
