I had opened a reverse SSH tunnel via an alternate NATed Ethernet connection "just in case" and because 3G coverage was a bit spotty. Another near miss. Ended up writing a quick custom tool (!) using OpenPST to send the Sahara reset command to bring it back up.

I usually slap OpenVPN on flaky connections. Works nicely even behind NAT, and connections through OpenVPN often survive short drops.
