asterisk users - Dec 2005 - Cisco 7940 Reboot

We've currently got 4 servers, and anytime we make any major 
modifications to the servers, the phones have to be rebooted.  We've got 
about 55 cisco 7940's (which is going to steadily increase over the next 
few months), does anyone know of a way to reboot the phones without 
using the telnet function?  The powers that be here don't like the 
telnet cause it's insecure, and I can't really find any other way to do 
the reboot.  Any help would be appreciated.

You can secure the network that the phones have access to via a vlan
that restricts who can telnet to the phones.

Or you can move the phones to chan_sccp which lets you restart or reset
the phones from the * console.
