Device to reset power...

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.
