That sounds like some cheap switches we've got. :-(  Annoying things.  I've 
got a timer on the worst offender to power cycle it several times during 
the day on weekends, so those logging in remotely aren't off for more than 
a few hours worst case...  During the week, I just hit the power toggle 
button on the timer twice to execute a power cycle manually. :)

Oh well, hope to ditch those next year, I've put in a submission for a high 
end 40 port switch to replace that crap. :)
