Given that Ascend boxes reboot quite often :-) I'd shorten that period a bit...but then again, they do it at unforseeable times :-)) Having physical access to the box for pulling the plug seems quite safe and is less hassle than having to connect locally with a laptop/modem to the console port. What do my fellow acenders think of it? Shall I make a feature request?
