ModemRebooter

Periodically checks that an Internet connection is available. If not, turn an X10 controller (hard coded to house J, device 11) off and back on. The idea is that the router is connected to the X10 controller, and so it will be rebooted and the connection restored.

This was useful a few years ago when my router and/or modem were flakey. Rather than having to mope to the basement to power cycle the equipment every couple of days, this program would take care of it for me.

Depends on a .NET X10 serial interface library (CraigsCreations.com.X10) created by Craig Hamilton, which you should be able to acquire here: http://www.craigscreations.com/projects.html#X10Lib
