I have a similar situation - The gateway at work has one of these UFOs and
I'm not always there to repair it.

I've told the muppets there to just reset the box to solve all the
problems, but I need to make one of these scripts too for obvious reasons.

I owuld probably periodically ping my ppp peer and if that goes dead
reload. In fact it'd probably be better to ping some remote hosts like
google.co.uk and debian.org. Also your nameserver might be a good idea
too.
To reload with software it could be necessary to totally reset the USB chip.

To do this you have to disconnect any devices (unmount etc.) and unload
the modules. I've found in the past you may need a pause here. Then reload
everything.
Anyway I'm not 100% sure that'll work, and I've not created anything to do
this, but I do need to as some point soon.
Enjoy

Oh and you didn't say you used BTOWorld did you? :-)
