So you have an iBook connected to the ISDN modem & use it as a hub?
How does that work, exactly, if there's no Ethernet port?
Regardless, what should always work is:
1) Open Terminal on your iBook in bed.
2) ssh to the iBook connected to the ISDN modem (ssh 10.0.1.1 or
whatever it's IP address is)
3) type "sudo shutdown -h now" and enter your password when asked.
4) Wait for Terminal to say "connection closed" then you can close
your iBook and go to sleep. ;-)
