pull the RJ11 out of the back of it and plug it back in?

This review gives you some useful info near the bottom on how to telnet in & a list of commands.

(Except, at least on mine, it should be
"Click on Start > Run and type in: telnet 192.168.2.1 then press OK" rather than192.168.1.1)

"adsl connection --up" should then do what you want.

Just pulling the plug out and reconnecting is not a recommended action. The other end of the ADSL connection is likely to take that as line instability as it can tell it was not a managed shut down (no dying gasp signal).

How about pull out the RJ11 from the Belkin, toss the Belkin in a skip and replace it with a router that allows you to re-establish the PPP session without a reboot, and plug in the RJ11?

Same problem. Just switch the router off first before disconnecting.

I appreciate that, it's just that not everybody may realise that you are not offering it as a serious solution.

Because generally speaking, it does a good job.

You could always recommend another tho.

If you can access the shell using telnet then it shouldn't be too difficult. On my Netgear (which has a disconnect button in the UI anyway) I think "rc wan restart" will do it, or I can killall pppd.
