I've had ADSL for around 5 years now and it was never necessary to reset to
factory settings. If I can get into the modem's page and see if the ADSL is
syncing and look at the log, that's always good enough.

An alternative would be to 'script' the restore. Most modems allow you to
back up and restore the configuration. You can manually backup a working
configuration and then write a 'wget' to send it. Preferably you would use
as much of the factory defaults as possible e.g. IP address. Is there a
firefox utility to record and replay web transactions ?
