How'd you do that physically? The copper wire can only run into one modem at a time. It _is_ imaginable to whack something together with Lego MindStorm or the likes that un- and re-plugs the wire, and I'd be very much amused to see it done, but I doubt it'd be a, hmm, practical solution. Of course, you could get your ISP to run two different ADSLs to your facility, and use the same login alternatingly, but those would run together on the same DSLAM anyway, and through the same cable ducts. Much easier to buy a manageable power-strip from APC or the likes, and hard-reset the ADSL modem with that. cheers, &rw -- / Ing.
