A nicer brute force might be. 01,STOP 02,STOP 03,STOP . . . 99,STOP
At this point it should be down and as long as no other reply would be accepting STOP as valid they should return with a new reply number. This will not be true if you have other automation that is not coded to reject and retry if an invalid response is received. Of course if you are coming down and this is close to the last item... Just a thought... If you have automation... issue D R,L and capture the responses and reply.
