[Gllug] Cygwin problems or X problems?

[Mike Leigh]

Whats wrong with rebooting the box and calling the guy in the noc to give
you the new ip it has been given.  I know its not a long term solution but
if the box is 300 miles away then someone must be monitoring it (and 3000
others).  

What would happen in the event of a power cut ?
