If your modem/router has a web interface with a reset button on a form (most do), find the path to it, and set a HTTP GET or POST to it with the right path. For instance, mine could probably be done with a command line like the following: wget --post-data="restoreFlag=0&RestartBtn=RESTART" --http-user=someone --http-password=something http://router/Forms/tools_system_1? NB: That's just from a *quick* look at the wget man file and the source code for one of *my* router's admin pages. It's not quite right, but on the right path. Just a bit more research is needed to get it right. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
