Alers,
I am forwarding a question from my son as his question is w-a-a-a-y
beyond my knowledge base:

| the DSL modem locked again while I was on vacation.  Can you ask the Ale
| list for suggestions for computer controlled power switches so I can
| reboot the stupid thing via a shell script?

He is a senior programmer at AOL and uses Linux at home and work.

Here is another idea that I haven't seen on this thread. Here's a link to a
phone operated switch:
