I don't know about exactly Your hardware, but - from my experience - there are configurations where the mainboard chipset does not provide enough power for the ISDN adaptor. - Although this problem should only concern older ISA cards on older EX/BX chipsets, I'd recommend cross- checking this one. As for remotely cold-booting: With ATX, You can specify a "wake-up"- time in most recent BIOSses. - But once the thing hangs, You cannot even shutdown. Plus, it may be 23:59 hrs to the next wake-up hour... In this case, get Yourself a proper "watchdog" card. - It will detect system hangs and initiate a reboot, cold or warm. Cheers, Jack. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- My personal reading of the string "MicroSoft" expands to "NanoWeak"...
