I haven't seen any odd reboot situations as you explain but with other routers I became accustomed to doing a reboot once a certain number of packets came through the router to clear the buffers. These were old Telebit Netblazers which ran for ever but buffers would fill and cause a reboot. With the 6096's that I run, I usually look for around 200 - 300 million Rx packets which for us puts us in the 40 - 50 day range and then we'll do the 2 - 3 minute boot. It appears to not hurt in anyway and usually clears any modems that were having a dialin situation or put on the bad modem call list. This is just a personal experience and not written in any manual I have read. This method is not broken for us, so we don't try and fix it. Hope this helps. ------- R. Hall NET-LINK Corp.
