Hi There, A question I have had for years and to which I have found no answer is how do you reset the Speedtouch 330, without resorting to unplugging it and plugging it back in again. I have now found a way of doing this and have written a script to be run by cron that keeps the machine connected.
I have attached it below. I hope the commentary is sufficient to explain what is going on. It is release as GPL. If you have any fixes or improvements I would hope you would return them to me.
