Sure, but how many 555 timers does it take to make a tcp/ip packet
sniffer?

   Or a watchdog timer IC if you want to get fancy.

   More like a minute, unless you have a program that is constantly
accessing the internet.  Even my Sanyo Internet radio can buffer 30
seconds between accesses, if there is net congestion.

Seems like someone with half a brain could build a little module that
watched for activity... no packet activity over a few seconds, reboot
the modem.

  Unlike your pathetic crap, the things I make are not available for a
photo shoot, idiot.

  That is the nature of the cutting edge.

  At your pathetic workplace, perhaps you are allowed to take snapshots
of your pathetic excuse for product.

  We are not allowed to have cameras or any other device that stores data
in our labs.

  I do not expect you to understand real, advanced security measures
though.

  Go have your boils lanced, ditz.
