One weak point...

Wow having remote access, skype, etc is just wonderful...

...however one small catch...

So lets say your IPCop router is scheduled to reboot once a week (cable modem gets flaky after a few weeks connected).

Lets also say that said router has successfully done this for years.

Now lets say you are out of town and are planning to use remote access and Skype to the home computer.

What are the chances the router will fail to successfully reboot when you are out of town?

What are the chances your wife will be willing to dig through your cables to hit the reset button while you coach her over the phone?

I give 100% for the first one and 0% for the second.

Maybe I should rig up one of those EASY buttons to do a hard reboot...
