1. Hold shift on the keyboard (you'll need one) and hit the reboot button the box (it looks like the 'play' sign backwards). Keep holding shift until you see the scrolly green lines- when you do, relese shift, and start rapidly hitting '*' on the keyboard. If done correctly, you should see a blank screen, and within a few seconds the DSL4000 splash (the globe with a movie reel and someting else) should appear. If you get a message saying cancel, keep trying this step,until access the screen appears.
2. Once on the screen, on the keyboard hold ctrl, tap v,and release ctrl. Then hold ctrl again, tap l, and release ctrl.
3. The screen should refresh then press enter (return)- you should see a * (or half of one), and a flashing cursor.
4. Type '!Boot' (without the quotes) and press and hold return.
5. You should be confronted with an booting config screen.
6. Celebrate- this is a tough nut to crack, and is a cause for clebration.
If this doesn't work, don't be suprised- keep trying until you get there or give up- there are many obstacles to go around, and it is not easy to avoid them.
